My very first experience with Juvederm filler. I went to have strictly my lips done. However, my injector insisted that I also needed to have filler around my labial commisures as well. For symmetry or something along those lines. Anyway, the filler ended up giving me jowles, and felt like small hard balls under my skin. I ended up having the filler dissolved about 48 hours ago. The filler has somewhat dissolved, leaving stretch mark lines and dark discoloration around my mouth. Is this normal?

Answer: Lip filler in the lips and around the mouth It’s absolutely normal and usually preferable to inject some filler around the lips and in the corners of the mouth. It helps to balance the fuller lips and make results look much more natural. It’s not clear from your photos what the timing is. If you dissolved the filler within two weeks of the initial injection it may still have been significantly swollen. It’s also normal to be able to feel some filler within the skin, as long as it is not visible as bumps. But again, it takes 2 weeks to see the final results. There will be no permanent stretch marks from filler or filler removal. Any dark areas can be more filler or the after effecs of bruising. I would wait 2 weeks and return if you still see skin changes.

Answer: Lip filler in corners of mouth, Juvederm A small amount of lip filler can help camouflage corners of the mouth that that appear to be turned downward. In your case I agree, I think the filler was overdone and it was a good idea to dissolve it. It can take up to a couple weeks for your outcome to stabilize. If you’re still not happy in two weeks please return to your injector. Make sure that your visiting with the master injector with the needed experience. I wish you the best, Dr. Ardeshirpour
