Is it normal to have a dip/dent/crevice in lower lip after Juvederm injections? 4 days post op. (photos)

Question

I had Juvederm injections in my lip 4 days ago. I can see a small dint/crevice on my lower lip. I would expect the lower lip to be fuller throughout as opposed to having a slight dip. Is this normal? Last night after 72 hours and noticing some bumps I very gently massaged my bottom lip (as instructed by my doctor who is a board certified plastic surgeon). Is is possible that I could have moved the product in doing so, even over 72 hours after the procedure? Thank you

Swelling is common after lip injections and can persist for up to two weeks.  It may be the cause of the crease you are noticing.  Continue to follow the advice of your injector and return for an evaluation if you still have concerns after two weeks.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Swelling and/or lumps can be typical. Icing, firm massage and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

No, it's unlikely you moved the filler. 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

You probably need some more time for the swelling to come down. In some people it may take up to 2 weeks for the swelling to fully disappear. If you still see the same crease afterwards you can speak to your treating physician. Good luck from New York City
