Can biting/chewing cause Juvederm in lips to dissolve 1 month post injection? (Photo)

SaraABitarJan 4, 2018
Hi! I got 1cc of juvaderm in my lips about a month ago. I bite/sorta chew on the insides of my lips somewhat absentmindedly when I’m working or otherwise doing something on autopilot. I looked at my lips and they seem smaller. I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to them now or if i somehow dissolved the filler by biting my lip. Help please! Is this even possible?

I would recommend having your wisdom teeth extracted first and then once fully healed you can have lip fillers. Lips often swell and sometimes bruise after filler treatment. This could be uncomfortable when adding dental work. In addition, it is important to keep risk of infection to a minimum.
