Chin soreness after Juvederm (Photo)

A
athdahaMay 17, 2018

I have half a syringe to maybe a little more than half of juvederm injected today. My chin is sore from it and it hurts to purse my lips. Mainly my bottom one hurts the most. Is this normal? I’m not bruised or anything. It really hurts if I move my lip, but not if I push on it

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

It is not time to be overly concerned with final results because this swelling is expected and can temporarily distort your facial features.Bruising is more common with needle injections and that is one of the reasons that I often prefer using a cannula to place fillers. You can place concealer...
