juvederm gone after two days.

Question

I had juvederm put into my lips 1ml. after two days my lips have gone back to being as thin as they were before I got it out in. how has this happened?

Joseph J. Castellano, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. Keep in mind that swelling is a common side effect immediately following lip injections, so it is possible that what you’re seeing is that swelling beginning to diminish. If, after a few days, you’re still unhappy with your results, I would suggest consulting your injector. He or she may suggest additional injections to help enhance your results. Best of luck to you!

Your filler hasn't disappeared. It's only been two days and the initial plumpness and volume you've been experiencing was probably swelling. Now, after two days the swelling is starting to subside. If you're unhappy with your results, I advise waiting two weeks and booking in for a follow-up appointment to discuss the possibility of having more filler injected.

Sammy Sinno, MD · Answer

Commonly the lips swell significantly after injection, which usually resolves in 1-2 days. You may feel that you lost volume when the swelling disappeared as 1cc is a significant volume for lip augmentation. If you feel under corrected you should speak with your injector. Before and after photographs are also useful and informative.

Thank you for your question. It should not happen. Please go back to your injector, take before and after picture , and discuss the results.

This is difficult to answer without before and after pictures. Juvederm results take 1-2 weeks after injections. I recommend following up with your injector. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. Implants or fat are alternatives. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question! This is very unusual, I would follow up with your doctor or injector. It is hard for me to evaluate you , with out before and after pics, without an in person consult. 1ML of Juvederm in your lips should be a nice subtle plump. If you feel the juvederm is gone and your lips are back to normal , I would suggest, following up with an experienced aesthetic facial  doctor , such as a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist.

Thank you for your question. It takes 1-2 weeks for all swelling to resolve and to see your final result. If you want larger lips then you can purchase a syringe of filler to add more volume. I recommend having a follow up with injector to discuss your concerns and desires. Best of Luck!

Lenore Sikorski, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I would attribute this to swelling. Typically after you have lip injections you have significant swelling that occurs and then resolves in a couple days. The swelling has probably gone down, but you have adjusted to the bigger look of your lips with the swelling. I would review your before and after pictures to see the results of your outcome. 1cc is a significant amount of filler and you should see a result. If you still want additional volume, you can always have more filler injected.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

Most likely, the swelling has gone done form the injection. At this point, they are probably larger than they were before the injection but your brain has adjusted to the new lips. It would be good to go over before and after pics with your provider in about 10 days. It might be that your were expecting larger lips which required more than one syringe and further injections might be necessary.

Craig Harrison, MD · Answer

Sorry to hear about your situation.  Hopefully you injector took photos before your treatment and follow up photos might help you get an objective assessment so I think you should call your injector and follow up.  I would be puzzled to not see any change with a full syringe of Juvederm in anyone's lips.  Best wishes.
