I had my lips enhanced top and bottom with one syringe (1cc) of juvederm. It's been 5days and I am not to crazy about the philtrium that my injector convinced me was important to enhance. This is my first treatment with fillers and my primary concern is that the juvederm will stimulate collagen production in my philtrium and leave that as a more pronounced ridge. Should I wait it out or is it better that I find a new injector (I'm moving to a different state) to dissolve it? Please advise!

I can see that the Juvederm was place high and along the upper cheekbone, which is resulting in a more sunken look in your central cheeks. This is harder to comment on without before pics, but let me say this. While it can be good to inject higher so that the cheeks are raised, I most likely...
Unless you squeeze the Juvederm out, you probably are not hurting the product but you definitely are not helping your skin's appearance. You might want to seek professional help for the nervous habit since it can result in scarring.
I have never heard of Juvederm causing anything like you describe here. There could be other causes besides the Juvederm. Such as a neurological condition or Bells Palsy. I recommend you have a neurologist or internist evaluate you and do some tests.
