Too much Juvederm in the vermillion border? Can I massage the filler further into the lip to avoid exaggerated border? (photo)

Question

Had my lips injected with juvederm 2 weeks ago by same person that’s done them the last 5x but this time she only filled in the border of my lips giving me “duck lips” Is it possible to massage the filler further into the actual lip to fix this look? How do I avoid this happening again? Should i request the filler go into the vermillion, only? Thanks

If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

At this point, massage is unlikely to give improvement. If you aren't happy with your results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase. I recommend following up with your injector about your concerns and desired results. Hope this helps.

Yes you can massage your lips to attempt to even out the filler material away from your vermilion border. Not sure how much of the materials will move now after two weeks. Definitely communicate with your injector on your wishes and next time will be perfect!

All hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Make sure that your treating physician is clear on what it is that you wish to have done in the future. Good luck from New York City
