Why Are my Lips Uneven After 2 Weeks?

This type of irregularity can be seen from swelling but most of that should be gone, or  it can be due to irregular filling.  The filler is not the culprit. It is the injector usually. Sometimes the patient continues to demand more filler and the physician may instruct them that they should stop but they want more volume and then irregularities occur.  You may wish to massage the lips gently and if no improvement occurs in a week or two, then you may consider getting hyaluronidase injected to dissolve the Juvederm.

At this point, it is best to let the swelling resolve for at least two weeks.  At that point, you need to re-evaluate if you need more product or have the product that you had injected melted away with Vitrase.  Not all doctors have Vitrase, but it is an injection which can be used to melt away unwanted HA products like Juvederm and Restylane.  It is normal to occasionally have some unevenness which requires a touchup.  However, you need to make sure that you or your injector does not rush the process or you will end up on a slippery slope of playing catch up and chasing swelling.  

 

Good Luck.

You can have swelling for 3 to 7 days after Juvederm injections into the lips.  Wait 2 weeks after the injections and return to your doctor for assessment.  You may need to have the Juvederm dissolved and then start over.  Have your Juvederm injections with an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
