I went in to get filler (juvederm) in my upper lip. The injector decided to start injecting me in areas I did not ask to be injected. He put 2 units below each nostril, 4 in my chin, 2 in the middle of my lips for the lip pop effect and 2 on the left side of my chin. So a total of 10 units. My entire smile is frozen and has changed entirely. You can’t even see my top row of teeth anymore. How long will it take to wear off and will my face and smile go back to the way it used to be? I’m horrified.
