I got juvederm over a week ago and it resulted in massive bruising in on the right side of both my top and bottom lips and a bruise on the top of my lip on the same side. I'm assuming this was from him massaging. I plan on going back to correct unevenness in about 3 weeks. My question is can I request the surgeon NOT massage my lips? And instead, I'll massage them myself a few days after the procedure. I'm afraid to bruise again.

Thank you for your question. It is not common to experience zero results after 4 syringes of Voluma to your cheeks. Perhaps consider scheduling a follow up with your injector to assess before and after photos. Best,
Thank you for your question. It is possible to transfer half a syringe into an empty syringe. It is not reasonable to begin to speculate what this injector does. The best option would be to ask the injector himself and if concerned seek treatment from a different injector. Best,
Thank you for your question. Swelling and bruising are common side effects from lip injections and can last approx 2 weeks. You may be experiencing asymmetry from a lip injection due to swelling. Apply cold compresses for 10 mins several times a day, take arnica montana and sleep with your head...
