I got my lips done a week ago now, they have been changing shapes and swollen but they seem to be settled now. However, I have a hole in one side of my mouth, meaning there is unevenness. Please see the photos and let me know what you think. Thanks!
Answer: Hole in mouth after Juvederm Thank you for your question. Lips have tether points that help support the lip and give it it's shape. When injecting fillers, you may unmask some of these tether points as you fill around these regions and creating a 'hole' where there wasn't one before. Different injection techniques can be used to correct this. I would make sure that you go to an experienced injector who understands lip anatomy and the different techniques to get the result you are looking for.

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase You can reverse the condition with an enzyme or get more filler to even it out. Swelling can come and go for 2-3 weeks, use claritin and icing to help calm this down. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Lip Asymmetry I am so sorry to see that you've had a less than ideal result. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist in your area to fix your asymmetry. I'm not sure that I would encourage you to trust your original injector, but that is up to you. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Juvederm Lips Thank you for your question. Your lips do have some asymmetry and you should return to your physician to correct the asymmetry. Additionally, it looks like you have a lesion on your lip where you think there is a hole. Do you have any history of cold sores? Were you given anti-viral prophylaxis prior to have your lips injected? If not this could be a developing or resolving cold sore. Again please return to your physician for further evaluation and management. Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
