Lips Uneven After Lip Augmentation

Hopefully your asymmetry is due to swelling that will reduce in about a week's time.  If not, see your doctor again to add filler to reduce the asymmetry.

 

While it is possible to dissolve the hyaluronic acid filler, it is usually not necessary.

I recommend waiting 2 weeks after the injection.  I would then return to see your doctor who did the injection.  You may benefit from a small amount of additional filler to reduce the asymmetry.  Rarely, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with another injection of an enzyme to break up the filler.

and it will respond to either a vigorous/firm squeeze...nicking with a needle and draining the material or an injection with hyaluronidase...an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers...see your doctor and you'll be better by the time you leave the office...good luck and sorry you're having this problem
 

It can sometimes take a few weeks after a lip augmentation for swelling to completely resolve, so you are definitely in the normal window for persistent sweliing.  Wait a few more weeks to see if it improves.  If your upper lip remains uneven,  revisit your physician to have it evaluated.  You may need simple massage, or addition of more filler to even out the asymmetry - if necessary, the filler can also be dissolved (assuming a hyaluronic acid filler) with hyaluronidase.

Although uncommon, you can see uneven swelling after lip augmentation with Juvederm or other fillers. Occasionally this is due to some fluid retention within the lip. It can also be some unevenness in the actual Juvederm. I would definitely return to your injecting physician for evaluation. This may be corrected by some light massage or waiting a little longer. If it is from uneven Juvederm, a slight touch-up injection may help. I prefer to wait at least two weeks after an augmentation before evaluating the need for further enhancement.
