My lips look so asymmetrical after Juvederm, can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

I had juvederm put in my lips last Thursday (5 days ago).normally my lips are a bit asymmetrical (my right side is a bit thinner) the doctor said he would correct this and that's why I agreed to get fillers, however now my left side look much more bigger and the asymmetry is even more visible. it is driving me crazy. should I go back to the doctor. Could this be still from swelling? can someone fix this? I am in NJ

Thank you for sharing your question. Massage the thicker side and it will improve the asymmetry somewhat. If it is not sufficient, have an experienced injector dissolve the Juvederm and refill your lips.Good luck,

There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

I would give it two weeks to settle down. If the asymmetry is still significant, you can dissolve the Juvederm with Hyaluronidase.

Swelling, which can be asymmetrical, can be typical after lip fillers. 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!
