I received juvederm earlier today and I'm noting the swelling is uneven, is this normal! I've had VERY minimal swelling and I feel like maybe I only swelled on one side?

Answer: Uneven swelling of lips after Juvederm injection
Given that you just received refiller today, it is not at all uncommon to develop swelling in your lips. As with anything, it is rare the swelling ends up being exactly the same from one side to the other.
Give it some time. Establish a follow-up visit with your injector for about two weeks. Presuming everything looks good, you may cancel that. Otherwise, keep your two week checkup and have them consider a tweak.

Answer: Uneven Swelling with Juvederm?
Uneven swelling after Juvederm injection is not unusual. There can be many reasons for uneven swelling. Bruising may occur more on one side than the other, contributing to the swelling. More product may have been injected on one side. You may be concern that the uneven swelling will result in uneven results, but once the swelling has subsided, everything will likely balance out. If there remains asymmetry, you could return to your injector for evaluation.
