Can smoking after Juvederm change the shape of the lip?

melaniejadexoApr 12, 2016
I am meant to be getting Juvaderm on Saturday but when i asked my doctor about it when i booked it she said not to smoke for a few days as she had a patient that the lip dropped from the movement of smoking after the injections. Is this true? I don't want to have a ruined shape but smoke reguarly.

I suggest reversing the filler with hyaluronidase or surgically removing the lump.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist that can improve this area.  Cannulas may help in the future.  Best, Dr. Emer.
