I Moved Around the Juvederm in my Lips After Injection. Did I Ruin It?

If you put pressure on the lips following injections, it is possible to move the product. However, you would not massage the product out or ruin it. It is not possible to manually remove it. In order to eliminate the Juvederm, an enzyme such as hyaluronidase would be necessary. I would recommend retuning to the physician who performed your injections for a quick exam, as he or she will be able to help determine that the placement of the product is ok and that you will have a good result when your swelling goes down. Thank you, and I hope this helps answer your question.

Thank you for your question. Sometimes the product can be massaged in areas where you don't want, so its important to have the injector do all of the massaging. I would leave it alone until the swelling fully subsides and see the final effects in 2 weeks. Return for an evaluation and express your concerns to your provider. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.

Massaging the product could cause you to lose your intended "shape". But the Juvederm is still there and hopefully dispersed more evenly.  It's usually best to wait for the swelling to go down before you judge your final results. If necessary you can have it touched up.
