I had some extra juvederm left over from temple/cheek injections. It was about 1/3 of a syringe. My injector suggested that I put it in my lips. My upper lip is much thinner than my lower lip so we put it in the upper lip, not in the lower. It is now almost 24 hours later and my upper lip is much bigger than my lower lip. I hate the way it looks. I am considering either plumping my lower lip or getting it dissolved. My question is, will it settle more in the next day or two?
