I suggest another 5 to 7 days and if still not pleased, go back to see your injector who will help you determine best next steps based on your results, anatomy, and objectives.

If you are unhappy with your lips 1-2 weeks after injection consider reversing the filler and going to an different injector.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi BNHHH. You are correct that your lips look uneven and there is more volume in the central upper lip compared to the sides. However, you are only a week out and some of this may be swelling. I would give it another week to see if things settle down a bit. If you are still not happy in another week then you can have the product dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Best wishes.

Mary E. Hurley, MD · Answer

At a week post-Juvederm injections to the lips, you may still be swollen. The lips are a very sensitive area and swelling can last for up to two weeks. If you are still unhappy with your results after that time frame, visit your injector again for a follow-up. You can have the Juvederm dissolved if you are truly dissatisfied with your results
