Had my juvederm top-up on my cheeks 5 weeks ago now. 3 days ago (after 5 week) one side of my face swell up. She injected me with cannula and also higher in the cheekbones. I now have pillows under my eyes and my face feel like a pig! I also feel my eyes are very stretchy and I wake up every morning so puffy! I also have a tiny broken capillary under my eye. Why am I feeling this way after 5 weeks. She used juvederm 3 and put 1 syringe in both cheeks and some on chin. Any suggestion please?

There may be some bleeding with lip injections. Significant bleeding can be due to many factors. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with your injector about your treatment. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I hope this helps.
I agree that your upper lip may have been overinjected. Remember that in facial aesthetic proportions, the upper lip should be about 1/3 of the lip complex, meaning that the lower lip should actually be bigger. You can have the filler dissolved if you like. I would wait one week before...
Thank you for your question. The area you are pointing to can be augmented with filler. This will help to lift the lip, but it will also appear fuller.
