I had juverderm lip fillers 6 days ago. 1 side is severely lop sided and I am worried it will stay that way. I know swelling is to be expected but should I be concerned?

Answer: Juvederm Lip Fillers. One Side Is Severely Lopsided. Should I Be Concerned? Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling (which is often asymmetric) to fully resolve and to see your final result. At that point, if you continue to have any concerns, please be sure to see your injector for an in-person reevaluation in order to determine the best course of action. Hope this helps and best wishes!

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm Thank you for your question and for submitting your photo. You're absolutely correct - it's not uncommon to experience swelling for up to two weeks after filler injections in the lips. At times, this swelling can be uneven, which can make the lips appear lopsided or asymmetric. Juvederm can also feel lumpy or hard initially after injection - typically, Juvederm absorbs water and softens over the course of a few weeks, and gradually blends into your skin. For now, I would recommend applying ice or cool compresses to your lips, as this may help the swelling subside sooner. If you are still concerned in another week, please follow-up with your injector. He/she may be able to gently massage your filler to help better balance it, or if needed, dissolve your filler with hyaluronidase. Best of luck!
