I had 1 1/2cc Juvederm in my upper lip only 2 days ago. It was my first time and I have been very swollen and bruised and 2 days later I still look like a duck. Did the surgeon put too much Juvederm in my lip? There is still swelling, should I get hyaluronidase to reduce the filler? How long should I wait?

Answer: Sounds like too much for my tastes! I rarely place more than one cc into anyone's upper lip in a single session. If someone wants more then we have them return in 2-4 weeks. Just as important however is balancing the appearance of the upper and lower lips so we usually also inject the lower lip. Otherwise there is a tendency to become upper lip dominant and look like Howard the Duck. Look at most beautiful and natural appearing models and you will see that the lower lip is always slightly larger and more projecting than the upper lip! Unfortanatley the inexperienced injector has a tendency to ignore this important principle!
