I got most of 1ml of juvederm in my top lip 6 days ago: but it now sticks out and is rock hard. (Photos)

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph.  Swelling is common after treatment with Juvederm, especially when the lips are injected.  Swelling can often cause the appearance of asymmetry or unwanted fullness.  Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising, if present, to fully resolve and to see your final result.  If you continue to have any concerns at 2 weeks (final result), then 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! 

it may take several days before the swelling comes down and depends on your tissue reaction to injection as well as on the level of trauma induced during injection. However, what puzzles me is why did you have 1 full syringe injected to your upper lip? It always creates a dysproportional, distorted lips, exactly opposite to aesthetic results. Good luck!

It can take about 2 weeks after Juvederm lip injections for the swelling to subside. If you are not happy at that time, please return to your injector for assessment. If you find your upper lip is too full, the Juvederm can be dissolved, however you may just require more filler for your lower lip.

It is not unusual for some patients to experience some swelling and uneveness after having after having lip injections, but this will normally resolve within a couple of weeks.  Gentle massage can help to 'soften' the firmness, but if the lip is painful to the touch you should contact your original practitioner to discuss the results you are experiencing. 

I would expect your upper lip to be more swollen because it received more filler than the lower lip. If you allow a full two weeks for the swelling to resolve, the upper lip may diminish in size and look much better - even smaller than the lower lip. The proportions will improve. At two weeks check with your injector if you are still concerned. Best wishes.
