Trout pout with second lip injection, how can it be fixed? (photo)

Question

I had lip injections done twice (9 months apart) with 1 syringe of juvederm ultra each time. The first time I didn't have that "duck" look. However, the second time my upper lip does. It is very frustrating because I have that look, yet I really don't have much volume in the upper lip. Did the doctor add too much to the boarder this time? If he filled in more in the middle of the lip will this help? I don't want to have it dissolved, but I also do not like how it turned out this time. Thank you.

I'm not sure when you had your touch-up. Swelling can be typical. Icing and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. It may take a series of treatments. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You can ask your injector to have some of the hyaluronic acid dissolved with hyaluronidase and change the technique in lip augmentation to create more height in the upper lip. If your injector cannot do, it then find yourself someone else. Good luck from New York City

yes. Too much Juvederm in the border casued it. The only immediate correction is to dissolve it centrally. Otherwise wait it out.
