I had .5 cc of juvederm injected into my upper lip only. 3 days later there is an indent on the side of my lip. There has always been a small crease here but now its much deeper and very visible. I think it looks very odd. my smile lines seem to have gotten alot worse. Is this because the lips are larger and are now pushing the skin (around my mouth) outward?is this created by a shadow making the lines appear deeper? how can I fix this? more filler in these lines? filler in cheek? thanks

Answer: Swelling/Asymmetry After Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Sorry that you are having some concerns about your postprocedure appearance. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result. After 2 weeks, if you continue to have any concerns please be sure to see your injector for an in-person reevaluation to fully address your concerns. Additional filler may be required to achieve your desired result. Best wishes!

Answer: Touching up a lip augmentation injection Lip augmentation was the fastest growing injectable procedure in 2015. It is a rewarding in-office procedure, but you should know how it is different from other filler injections.1. The lips swell - just poking the lip with a needle will make it swell and bruise.2. The lips swell unevenly - especially when correcting asymmetry.3. The initial swelling goes down in the first 3 days and may look like you had nothing done. 4. The swelling goes down unevenly (one side before the other).5. It takes 2 weeks for the end result to be visible.I like to start conservatively and touch-up the result after two weeks. It is a better option than overfilling the lips. You can dissolve excess filler, but it can rarely be done precisely. Usually, all of the filler is goes away and you have to start over again. I also take photographs so I can objectively compare the lips before and after treatment. Be sure to review the consent form completely and ask any questions before the injection. Safety comes first.
