I had 1ml of juvederm put in my upper lip and 1ml of restlyn silk in my lower lip 3 days ago. The swelling has gone down drastically and now I notice my upper lip is very visibly uneven. There is a lot more product on the left upper lip compared to the right. What are my options to fix this? Should I use Hyaluronidase to remove the excess on the right? Can it just be messaged to even it out? I really don't want to had more filler because I prefer the more subtle look of the upper right lip.
