I had juvederm injected 1 week ago and my upper lip is looking puffy and unnatural. Is this due to improper techniques or too much filler? How can this be resolved? And do I pay this same injector to fix or find someone new?

Answer: Duck lips Duck lips are typically the result of four errors in lip injections. Injections near the corners of the mouth, the wet part of the lip, the white part (or skin) above or below the lips, and over-filling are the reasons for duck lips. In addition, the lower lip should be larger than the upper lip by at least one third. One of the things that I have learned over 20 years of performing lip augmentation is that "less is more." Experienced injectors know this. My first question would be was this a doctor, or an allied caregiver? Always insist on a doctor to perform your injections. Doctors can always inject more, as it is much easier to inject more than to remove the filler. Unfortunately, to correct the issue, hyaluronidase injections would be necessary. Injecting the hyaluronidase will typically dissolve all of the Filler. You will then have to start over.

Answer: Duck lips from fillers Did you see a core aesthetic physician (dermatologist or plastic surgeon) for the procedure? If so, I would recommend you see your injecting physician for followup. How many syringes did you have? Depending on what filler was used, it can be possibly dissolved.
