Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

You could have it dissolved, but usually the area will settle down within a few weeks after treatment. I would follow up with your treating provider for further advice.

Nicholetta,The swelling you show is common after injecting the vertical philtral columns above the upper lip.  This type of swelling should resolve within 2 weeks.  Direct manual massage and compression of the columns can help soften the ridges.Good luck!

A.J. Amadi, MD · Answer

The depression in the upper lip is called the Philtrum and is bordered by elevated ridges. Sometimes juvederm [or other fillers] are used to highlight those ridges if they are not well formed. Your injector may have done this in addition to the lips.So early after the injection, what you may be experiencing is increased swelling. I would recommend waiting about a week to allow the swelling to resolve. If you are still bothered by it, then you could ask your injector to dissolve the product with hyaluronidase.

let the area heal and settle for 2-3 weeks, most likely the issue will resolve itself with time

Best of luck

Martie Gidon, MD, FRCPC, FAAD · Answer

Your injector probably injected your philtrum as well as your lips for a youthful effect.  Please wait 2 weeks for any swelling to resolve.  If you are not happy with the result at that time, return to your injector for assessment.
