Asymmetrical lips from Juvederm, pretty sure it's unevenly distributed filler, can't go to work like this? (Photos)

Asked By:bankerchick in Washington, DC

I had Juvederm injected into my upper lip yesterday, and immediately following the injection I noticed my right lip is MUCH fuller than the left, but the doctor assured me it was just swelling (I've had this done many times before and it usually takes several hours for me to swell). I can't go to work like this so I can't wait 2 weeks to "let things settle." Should I ask for hyaluronidase on the right side, or will I have to dissolve both sides for an even result? Is it fair to ask for a refund?
