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: Too much It looks as if you've had too much juvderm injected. I would return to your surgeon for hyaluronidase to dissolve the excess. If you don't feel comfortable with your original injector then you may want to search out another surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Juvederm Thank you for your question in regards to Juvederm. Swelling and bruising can last up to two weeks after filler injections, especially in the lips. If you are still swollen and are not happy with your results, follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler if you do not like the appearance of your lips. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Answer: Juvederm and Lip Injections I would wait a full two weeks to see the effects of the lip injections before you return to have anything else done. There may still be some swelling form the Juvederm. If you are still unhappy I would return to your treating physician to have some of the product dissolved. Best, Dr. Green

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.
