Lop sided lips? One day after Juverderm injections.

Question

Hey, this is my first time getting lips ever filled, normally I have very small lips so I understand this is swelling, however it's very one sided. I got 1ml, yesterday after the injections the swelling went out down still seemed lopsided, however over night the swelling has doubled again and there are very obvious lopsided points. Will this even out? Is it just my lips being more sensative at certain points? Also how can I help the healing process?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest waiting 2 weeks to see the results and if they are still irregular or causing any issues, please reverse  the filler and use cannulas in the future.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Frankly, until your swelling subsides, which can take up to two weeks, it is impossible to assess your final outcome. However, if your lips are still uneven at that time then return to your surgeon to discuss revision options. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Thank you for your
question in regards to Juvederm. Swelling can take up to two weeks to subside. After that time, if you are still experiencing an asymmetry look, follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Additional filler may be added, or Hyaluronidase can be injected to remove the filler. To be sure what is best for you, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.I hope this helps.

Thank
you for this question. Swelling tends to persist for at least several days
after lip augmentation in some cases. The lopsidedness you reference is not too
noticeable, but I understand your concern. If you still see some unevenness
after a week, you do have some options. JUVÉDERM can be dissolved with an
enzyme called hyaluronidase, and your lips will return to their natural
appearance. Or, you may ask your injector to balance the appearance of your
lips with a conservative injection of more filler. You should do this only if
you are confident in the technical skill and aesthetic sense of your injector.
If not, I suggest finding a qualified injector for a second opinion. Best of
luck.

Thank you for your questions and photos.  It is very early to tell the outcome of your lips.  I recommend giving a full two weeks for everything to settle.  If nothing has resolved by that time I would go back to your injector for a follow up.  There is a reversal for Juvederm called Hyaluronidase that can be injected into the lip.  Best of luck to you
