Had Filler in Lips Two Months Ago and Look Like the Joker. my Smile Looks Fake?

Question

Two months ago I had juvaderm injected into both lips. Previously, I had my lips enlarged using string. Now I look like the joker when I smile. My smile is very fake looking and noticeable to friends. I would like to be able to remove the juvaderm instead of having to wait for a number of months. I do not smile in pictures anymore because I have a terrible smile now. I do not know how to load on a picture of myself. I hope I can still get answers.

Hello, and sorry to hear you are not happy with your result. The Juvederm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, and your lips will appear as they did prior to having the treatment. I would recommend speaking with your provider about this option. I hope this helps, and good luck to you.

If you feel that too much Juvederm was injected into an area, hyaluronidase can be used by your plastic surgeon to dissolve some of the product.

Dear Sidra90379,

	
		If you liked your smile with the thread before Juvederm and now you don't, then you can have it dissolved to go back to the way it was very quickly
	
		If you do nothing, it will go away in another 4 months


	Best regards,

Most people like the corners of the mouth to be turned up. This can be done by injecting Juvederm in the corners of the mouth. But if it's too much or you don't like it, it can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I can't tell you if removing the Juvederm is the best option to improve your appearance without seeing you or pictures, but it is possible to have the Juvederm removed. This can be done by injection of a medicine called hyaluronidase. I would discuss your concern with your treating physician and he or she should be able to help you.
