Uneven swelling after lip fillers. Is this normal? (Photo)

nessaxoNov 14, 2015
I had my nasiolabial folds injected and noticed one side fuller than the other. Also, after having my lip fillers done, i noticed the left side of my bottom lip was more swollen then the other side. Should i be concerned with this? There was also bruise spots and bumps detected. We used only 1 syringe of juvaderm ultra plus for the entire procedure.

Looking at your profile it looks as though your upper lip protrudes because you have an overbite.  This may be fixed through orthodonture.  If this is not an option, placing some filler in your lower lip may give your lips a more even look.  I would caution you that adding too...

If you had some bleeding after the injection it is possible that you have a small haematoma.  This should settle with time.  Cold compress will definately help. Lips do swell up sometimes and this generally resolves over a few days.

I appreciate your concern, but perhaps your injector is either too aggressive, using too much filler, or it is being placed in the wrong area. I would recommend conservative lip augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid, like Juvederm plus. Another option is fat transfer which is more permanent. Seek...
