I got .5 ml juvederm lip filler 10 days ago and I immediately did not like the shape of them. The nurse put the whole .5 ml in my upper lip and made my cupids bow too high and pointy. My border is rounded and it looks like the filler is outside the border. By now the swelling has gone down and I still hate the result. Can I get them dissolved after 10 days or should I still wait it out? I'm concerned about migration since its so close to the border. Any suggestions?
