I had 1 Juvederm lip injection 3 days ago. My upper lip is twice bigger than my lower lip +I have 3 bumps bellow my bottom lip 2 of them creating a hole in the oral commissures. Lot of my swelling has resolved but not the bumps. The Philtrum looks "puffed" or oversized making me look freakish and my upper lip "hangs"over my bottom lip. I am stressed out +depressed thinking that my skin/lips will sag when Juvederm is gone in a year. Can this happen? Meanwhile the duck look + bumps will disappear?

Answer: Lips and Swelling and Nodules Post Filler Injection
Thank you for your question. The best way to add symmetry to your lips is with a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, such as Juvederm. This will help make your left match the right side while looking natural. Also, hyaluronic acid fillers can be easily dissolved with hyaluronidase if you are unhappy...
It sounds like you probably have developed a hematoma in the cheek. This is bleeding below the surface of the skin and can cause the things you describe. You should visit with your doctor to have this evaluated. If it is indeed a hematoma, it can typically be treated easily. Best regards.
