I had Juvederm Volbella in my tear troughs 6 months ago. I haven't been hapy with it the whole time, but I'm in a different country to where I was injected. Now I'm going home and I have an appointment to have it dissolved, but I'm having second thoughts. I know Hyalase can affect your own natual tissues, but if I wait until it dissolves naturally will my skin be stretched? Which option is safer? I'm already miserable about my appearance, and I'm scared of making it even worse. Thank you.

Dear Jolie,
I am sorry to hear this has worried you. This can be a normal reaction after having dermal fillers and will normally settle within two weeks. Cold compress can help with swelling. If the lumps do not settle then request a face to face review with the practitioner that injected...
I recommend following up with your injector about their protocol for eating after injections. You should be able to eat 2-4 hours after injections. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results.
Thanks for your question. This is something you must contact your injector about immediately to be assessed and resolved- if this is not possible please contact another aesthetic/cosmetic clinic and state that you need to be reviewed due to painful, numb lip swelling following filler
