It's been a week since I received 1cc juvederm in my top and bottom lip. I told her I didn't want my top lip to hang over my bottom. I asked her if she put more in my top lip and she said no. My top lip was injected more times than my bottom lip. I still have slight bruising on my right side top lip and a little lump in center of top. I am worried my top lip isn't gonna go down anymore and if it's in fact filler, not swelling. I attached a before pic and pics I took just now (1 week later). Thx
Answer: Post filler swelling Thank you sharing your post-op photos. It is a bit too early to judge final results at this point, I suggest waiting another week before deciding whether you want to make any adjustments. You might be happy with your final results and may not need any touch ups at that point. If you are still unhappy with your results, then some product in the top lip can always be dissolved or another option would be to add more filler to the lower lip to balance out the upper and lower lip ratio. Be sure to consult a board certified plastic surgeon for this procedure. James Lee

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase I suggest waiting 2 weeks and if the lip still is asymmetrical reverse the filler or add more to the lower. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Will the swelling go down further? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. If your upper lip was injected with more filler, or had more injections, it will cause an increased amount of swelling compared to your lower lip. At only a week after treatment I would anticipate continued swelling to resolve and lumps to soften over the next 7-10 days. You may want to consider cold compresses and sleeping with your head elevated to facilitate the process. If you aren't happy after an additional 7-10 days the filler material can be dissolved to restore your pre-injection appearance. Hope this helps.

Answer: Top lip overhanging bottom following Juvederm injections Thank you for sharing your concerns and photos. You might still have some swelling at this point. Sometimes dental anatomy (protruding forward) causes the lips to overhang if filler is injected. Additional Juvederm can be injected into the lower lip to compensate for the overhang or you can have the Juvederm dissolved and start from scratch. Wait a week more to be certain that there is no longer swelling. Good luck,

Answer: It is common for the lips to swell after lip augmentation. Thank you for your question. It is common for the lips to swell after lip augmentation. It is still too soon to tell what your final results will be. It takes up to 2 weeks for all swelling to resolve. If after 2 weeks you are unhappy with your results you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend contacting your treating physician with any concerns you may have.
