I received 1/2 a syringe of Juvederm 3.5 weeks ago. My lips are still a bit sore at the injection sites. At first I thought the "mustache" above my lip was a bruise bc it seems I'm healing slowly, but at 3.5 weeks I'm skeptical. Surgeon assured me it was a shadow during a follow up in a poorly lit exam room, but it is still visible in direct overhead daylight and is very clearly discoloration of some kind. Could a bruise really last this long? What would cause this?

Thank you for your question. This should be fine. However, please remember it takes up to 2 weeks for all swelling and bruising to resolve and see your final results. Best of Luck!
Poorly placed filler can drag the lid down and impair corneal surface wetting. If this is the case you will need to have this dissolved. You are quite about being wary of Hyaluronidase. I have seen many complications of this being done with too high concentrations which can irreparably damage...
Thank you for your question. Typically, 1 syringe of Juvederm is enough to see a significant difference in the lips. Depending on your desired result, you can add more filler to your lips to see an increase in volume. I recommend having a follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns....
