I got my lips injected 3 times w/ juvederm ultra. Naturally I have very thin lips, my top lip was down turned. My issue is the shadow effect or fullness above my top lip. I did not have my vermillion border injected & was advised it may give me a ducky look. I don’t understand why some patients get this “mustache effect” & some can achieve huge lips without affecting the area above the lip. Why does the border of my top lip look puffed out? I went to a highly rated Black Diamond injector .
Answer: Lip filler tratment results If the treatment was performed less then 2 weeks ago, this may still represent swelling related to the injections. It is also possible that too much filler was placed at the margin of the upper. I would followup with your injector to discuss your concerns. If too much filler was used, it could certainly be reversed using hyaluronidase.

Answer: Lip injection and shadowing You will easily appreciate the reason behind the shadowing if you look at your side view photo. Too much of filler was injected into the lip, particularly in front of the muscle. This is very common problem when lip is injected for volume expansion and not for enhancement and re-shaping. Unfortunately, it also happens when the injector agrees to create un-aestheticaly overinflated lips. Even if filler is injected in a proper plane the excessive volume "spills over" to the surrounding tissue.The abnormality can be corrected with controlled injection of hyaluronidase to remove part of the filler. Good luck!
