Juvederm injections have left me with an uneven smile and crooked lips. How do I fix a botched lip injection?

March 27, 2018
Asked By:sarasmiles05 in Los Angeles, CA

Got Juvederm injections in Sep 2017. Waited approx 4 weeks after initial injection to have doc fix unevenness. Doc injected hyaluronidase and then more Juvederm a week later to fix. 6+ months later lips still not even, smile is crooked. I’m self conscious wearing lipstick or smiling in photos. Not sure how to fix. Doc refuses to completely dissolve says hyaluronidase is risky and I’m too picky - thinks lips are fine. Help! Suggestions for a fix are needed.
