I recently got juvaderm for the first time 5 days ago. The first night it was beautiful. My lips looked great. Then the following morning when I woke up, not only was I bruised (which I know is normal) but my upper lip on the left side was saggy. The upper left side was the only part of my lip that was bruised. I went back and they said when the bruising went away my lip should lift back up. Is this true? This couldn't be something permanent right?
