I had my lips injected with 1 syringe of Juvederm last Thursday. I thought it looked great! 3 days later and my lips look hardly any different than they did before I got them done. Should I contact my doctor? This was my first experience at a cosmetic surgeons office; I didn't show my doctor a photo of how I wanted my lips to look - I just told him that I was wanted my lips larger. Will this make a difference in getting the results I really wanted without having to pay another $550?
Answer: Juvederm lip swelling and results Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look over corrected or fake the next day. I often tell my patients that this is the "oh my gosh" day. It could be "oh my gosh" because of undesirable swelling, or it could be "oh my gosh I love this volume" when swollen. The swelling may last a few days with every day showing a decrease in swelling. The more you ice the first day or two, the less swelling you will have. I would wait a few days to a week and then return to your injector if you still have concerns after that. If you like the look of the lips at some point during the swelling reduction, then take a picture. This way you know what volume you like in the lips for the future. I typically use upto one syringe in the lips and then have my patients return afterwards in a couple weeks to add more if they like.

Answer: Juvederm Lip Injections - 3 Days Later, Barely a Difference Thank you for your question. I do see a difference. There is more fullness in your upper lip compared to the top. I do see the outline of your lower lip was injected. Some patients will need more then 1 syringe. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best Wishes

Answer: Photos Suggest Improvement-- Additional Syringe May Be Needed For Desired Result Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that’s frequently used for lip augmentation. It’s associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction.Although you’re not totally happy with your previous Juvederm treatment, your pictures suggest significant improvement. It’s not unusual for patients to request additional Juvederm following treatment. When this scenario arises an additional syringe can be easily administered to further augment your lip.It’s important to understand that most surgeons charge by the syringe for the volume given at the time of treatment. It’s safe to say that you have a reasonable result and that additional plumping of the lips will require more Juvederm.

Answer: Wait 2 weeks At three days it's too early to see the optimal results of your treatment. I suggest you wait about 2 weeks before you assess your results. If at that time you still don't see any improvement, return to your injector and discuss your concerns.

Answer: Juvederm results...
Juvederm results last anywhere from six to nine months. The results are usually natural, and seen immediately. Your body absorbs the hyaluronic acid over time so the injections must be repeated periodically to maintain the refreshed look. Your results definitely show enhancement, but it is important to remember that the most important part of the plastic surgery process is communication. Therefore it is vital that you go back to see your plastic surgeron and communicate your desires, and let him see if more filler is needed.
