This is my second day after juvederm injections. After three hours of injections I noticed a lot in the center of my top lip which hangs over my bottom lip. I woke up this morning with the same thing. Top lip is uneven. And I am so upset over these fake results. Is this the healing process? Or will this unevenness/ duck appearance be here to stay even after swilling goes down?
