Is it possible to fix botched lip injections from Juvederm? (photos)

Thank you for sharing your question and photos. I am sorry to hear about your experience, but the good news is that hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane can easily be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. After this enzyme is injected, the filler will dissipate within 24 hours. I recommend following up with your injector to discuss your concerns and exploring the possibility of dissolving the Juvederm. For future injections, I suggest seeing a board-certified specialist and starting with a more conservative amount of filler. In the meantime, rest assured that the Juvederm is not permanent and your results can mostly likely be completely reversed. Best of luck.

This can be reversed with hyaluronidase and you can try a different technique next time. I recommend using cannulas with lip injections to avoid complications. I suggest getting a formal consultation with an expert in lip augmentation. Best, Dr. Emer

If the product injected was indeed Juvederm, or one of its relatives in the HA family, the extra product that is lumpy can be dissolved with injections of the hyaluronidase enzyme.  That will get you back to baseline.Then, your local PS or other talented injection specialist can start over, and help you get the lip shape you want.

Assuming this was Juvederm and not some other product, it may improve some over the next week or 2.  If it doesn't, you can have the filler dissolved with some Hyaluronidase injections.  They work very quickly to remove the filler and will take you back to your baseline. In the future, make sure you go to an experienced injector and limit the amount of filler injected.   

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Depending on the amount of Juvederm placed you may need to allow for at least 3-4 weeks for the swelling to resolve and the filler material to soften to leave a more natural result and for the smaller bumps to dissolve.  If after this time you have continued asymmetry, or if you do not think you can wait that long, Juvederm can be dissolved with another medication called hyaluronidase that will leave you with your original lip appearance.  Hope this helps.
