Why does my Cupid's bow stick out? 3 months pot op Juvederm in my lips. (photos)

Question

It's been around 3 months since I've had juvederm put in my top & bottom lips. I feel like all around my Cupid's bow, it sticks out and looks weird. Is this normal?

Kally Papantoniou, MD, FAAD · Answer

It appears that less filler should have been placed in the deeper tissues of your upper lip, this can happen from over filling. If it was 3 days post procedure I would say to wait, but it has been 3 months. If you are not happy with your profile it can be reversed with a few injections of hyaluronidase, and this usually takes on 1 session. Best, Dr P.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  If it has been three months your injector must have placed some of the JVD along the lip border in the area known as the "white roll."  If you do not like this appearance you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase to restore your previous lip appearance.  Hope this helps.

This looks like filler. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It looks like you have some dermal filler product in your cupid's bow. You could consider dissolving the product. Talk to your injector and be examined. Good luck, Dr. ALDO

Georgios Ziakas, MD, FACS · Answer

The area is more pronounced due to the filler injection. Many times early massage after the injection (up to 2 weeks) may even out the filler material and provide a more natural look. If you are unhappy with your look you should follow up with your doctor and request hyaluronidase injection in order to dissolve the filler.

Peter J. Jenkin, MD, FAAD · Answer

From your picture it looks like you had injection in the border of the lip creating this extra roll.  It can be eliminated within 24 hours with hyaluronidase.  Follow up with your injector who is hopefully a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and that can be done as a simple office injection.  Good Luck.

Hi there, thanks for your question. It appears that there is a larger amount of filler in the area, though an in person exam would be needed. If you do not like the appearance, a substance called hyalauronidase can be used to dissolve unwanted product. Hope this helps, best of luck to you!

Michelle Ellern, DO · Answer

Likely you had a little filler injected into the area that needs to be dissolved. Please follow up with your injecting physician so that your filler can be corrected and you can start enjoying you beautiful lips.

Thank you for sharing your photos and your concerns.  Your plastic surgeon or dermatologist most likely injected the Juvederm in the vermillion border (also called the white roll).  The good news is the filler can be partially removed in a controlled fashion with an enzyme called #hyaluronidase.  Return to your board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon at your earliest convenience. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D.Houston, Texas

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  Based on your narrative and photos, I would suggest that you see your injector for an in-person reevaluation and a full discussion of your concerns in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Any unwanted filler can be easily removed with hyaluronidase.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
