I have dents above the left side of my upper lip (Photo)

Question

Depending on the lighting, a shadow is cast that makes them look even more pronounced. 3 weeks ago I had juvederm injected, got a dark purple bruise over the entire area, and now that the bruise has healed I see no improvement. In fact, I feel the area looks worse now as it appears like a dark shadow line/dent that goes straight down to my lip. Do I need more filler? Some other kind of treatment? I'm only 30 years old and this is taking a huge toll on my self esteem. Thank you

I'm sorry you aren't happy with your final results. You have two options: 1. get a touch-up of filler2. reverse with hyaluronidaseI recommend following up with your injector. Hope this helps.

I see whats going on. Im not sure what kind of juvederm you had injected but the "type" of Juvederm matters (for any given area) lip anatomy is different than other soft tissues where fillers are commonly injected and it carries a higher risk of complications (like yours) if not careful

If your photographs are in the correct order, it doesn't look like anything was done because I do not see any improvement. I would recommend that in the future you see a plastic surgeon like myself for lip augmentation and proper use of the product and technique. Good luck from New York City

You appear to have too much fullness above the left side of your mouth.  Please return to your physician for assessment.  You may benefit from dissolving some of the Juvederm for a more natural look.
