It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can be asymmetrical, and last 1-2 weeks after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi @iris201807. I recommend waiting a full two weeks for swelling to subside. If you are still noticing asymmetry after two weeks, you can add additional filler at that point. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Hi @RSMember2242! It can take 1-2 weeks for the swelling to subside. If you are unhappy with the results after two weeks, you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
