It's only been about a day, I got juverderm plus into my lips and love them but one side on my top lip is bigger and I know we are suppose to wait about 5 days for swelling and bruising but I feel like it just has more filler. It is a little more tender on the bigger side and it's a little lumpy. She told me to ice and massage if I feel any lumps but not to over do it. Do I just need to wait it out or did she just not do a good job?
Answer: Asymmetrical swelling Asymmetrical swelling isn't unusual. For now, just ice the lips and try a gentle massage. After a couple of weeks, the swelling should subside and you can judge your final results. If the asymmetry is still present, make an appointment with your injector to discuss.

Answer: Lip asymmetry Thank you for providing the photos. It does appear that one side is fuller than the other. I would ice the lip 3 times a day for 2-3 minutes at a time to address any residual swelling. I would also gently massage the area every time you ice. If the disparity persists after 1-2 weeks, return for an adjustment. As with all cosmetic procedures, especially when it comes to fillers, the skill of the injector is paramount. Always seek an expert in facial aesthetics, such as a board-certified dermatologist, to maximize results while minimizing side effects.
