I got a syringe of juvaderm in my nasolabial folds last week. I now have on big fat lump by my right cheek/nose area which I'm not sure should even be there. It seems the nurse injected more in my right side since I sleep on that side my line is more prominent there, HOWEVER she barely put anything into my left side so its really obvious to me when looking in the mirror that this looks uneven. Is this something she has to correct for free? I'm really upset about this and don't want to spend more money.

Answer: Nl fold deep? This is tough to help with without photos. After one week most of the swelling should have settled and if there are areas of unevenness, this will need to be addressed. The experience of the injector really comes into play when you have situation of natural asymmetry. Not sure how experienced the injector was? I would have them take a look and help you sort this out. Each practice has a different approach to this situation. You best bet is to return to the office and show them this issue. Hope this helps. Good luck.Dr Vasisht

Answer: Final Result After Juvederm Thank you for your question. It is difficult to comment without seeing any photographs. Sorry that you are having some concerns about your postprocedure appearance. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to see your final result. Swelling and bruising after filler injection is normal. Icing can help for up to 48 hours postprocedure. Arnica can also help to minimize postprocedure swelling and bruising. Gentle massage may be beneficial. My best advice would be to give it a full 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result. At that point, if you continue to have any concerns, please be sure to see an experienced injector for an in-person reevaluation in order to best address your concerns and to determine the best course of action. Any unwanted filler can be easily removed with hyaluronidase. Best wishes!
