I had juvederm 48 hours ago and the left hand side of my top lip looks a little raised in profile. Where it's raised on top of my lip it looks white and it gives the impression I have a slight moustache (its not a bruise). Is this likely swelling or too much product? Thanks.

Answer: Asymmetric swelling after Juvederm in the lips Hello Cookiedough4,Lip swelling after lip augmentation can be quite pronounced in the early time period (48-72h) and it is very common to get asymmetric swelling. Therefore I wouldn't assume that you would need correction unless you've given it about 7-10 days for the swelling to subside. Best of luck.Michael M. Kim, MD

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm Hello Cookiedough4,The lips tend to swell quite a bit. At 48 hours it would be hard to tell if it is from too much product or just swelling. If you liked it when you left the clinic it is likely from swelling. If it was bothering you left it is likely from too much product. The swelling should go down over the course of the week so at least give it that long before you consider anything. I would recommend you discuss your concerns with your injector to evaluate your concerns.I hope this helps and good luck.
