I got 1 syringe of juvaderm. I wanted the sides of my top lip to be fuller. I didn't see any results. The Dr. told me to wait 2 wks. No result. She told me to come in for another syringe & charged me. Dr. told me " I couldn't get full lips " because I'm "fair skin " & it's hard to see results. I'm unhappy and feel I wasted my money. Dr.told me I'm not understanding how lip fillers work. The shot was a quick poke. Is this normal?

Answer: Juvederm for Upper Lip You may benefit from layering of more filler over time. For 2 vials I understand you may not be totally happy at this point but your lips may need time to keep expanding so if you trust your doctor keep the conversation open. For the sides of your lips they won't most likely achieve the fullness your natural lip has in the middle so perhaps thats the issue/explanation your physician is talking about. It might be your expectations not matching what is possible in 1-2 vials..... Best of Luck.

Answer: Lip fillers with Juvederm--It works! Hi Ms. Illinoise, Juvederm Ultra and Ultra plus work great in the lips for building up volume. I'm not sure why you didn't get the results you where looking for. I think your lips are beautiful. But, there doesn't seem to be a big difference between the two pictures you posted. Perhaps you had Juvederm Volbella done, which is very subtle and is mostly used for just slight definition around the lips rather then volume. I hope this clarifies this for you. My video below should help explain. Best, Dr. Onir
