How can I fix lines created by lip injections?

July 7, 2016
Asked By:brooklove90 in Portland, Oregon

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
