I Had Juvaderm Injected in my Vermillion Border and Wet to Dry Line Approx 4 Weeks Ago and It Seems to Have Gone Down Already?

Question

The vermillion border is still full but with some redness to above the area, not sure why there is redness there as no filler was injected above the vermillion border line. She also injected into the wet to dry line but this has gone down and appears that no filler is is there anymore, one full syringe was used. I saw the product myself and know it was Juvaderm and the amoutn she used, she was very professional and advised against over treating, Any ideas why this has happened?

Juvederm should still be present in lips after 4 weeks.  You may just want more product injected.  The volume is not particularly great, and the results after one injection may be subtle.

Dear pinkcannarozzo,

	
		I would check your before and after pictures to make sure
	
		Sometimes your metabolism can break the product down faster
	
		In essence, you should check with your injector, especially since it sounds like you like her and trust her

I think you probably just did not get enough juvederm to make a difference for your expectations.  This should last at least 6 to 8 months.

It depends on how much filler you need in the first place. Everyone's lips are different and the amount you need to give you a lasting correction varies. You may have had a partial correction but full correction may require additional Juvederm. Most everyone agrees that the second injection lasts longer. In some cases a year or more. As far as the redness it's hard to evaluate without a photo.

You probably require more filler for the result you desire.  You should return to your injector to discuss your concerns, especially the redness above your lip.
