I just got juvederm, and I can't look at myself in the mirror. I understand that it's still swollen, but I’m concerned that he injected it where was not supposed to. I no longer have a jaw line, and my face is completely round. I read some reviews here, and there is an indication of possible permanent damage due to the stimulation of collagen production. Is that true? I’m completely regretful. I went to remove a few expression marks around my mouth, and now I have a face that I can't recognize.

Sounds like this might have happened to you. Sometimes the filler preferentiallly fills in one side of the crease or the other and not the creas itself. It is best to carefully tunnel the needle precisely below the crease and not repeatedly tunnel to one side or the other...
Hello, and sorry to hear you are not happy with your result. The Juvederm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, and your lips will appear as they did prior to having the treatment. I would recommend speaking with your provider about this option. I hope this helps, and good luck to you.
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.
