0.8ML of juvederm in lips and two weeks later it's gone. Is this normal? (Photo)

Elle55639May 18, 2016
The top left photo is before any injections. Top right is directly after. Bottom left a week after. Bottom right is now, 2 weeks after. I got 0.8ml and I see almost no difference two weeks later. Is this normal? Should my lips look bigger or has the juvaderm already disintegrated??? I am going to go back for more but I am unsure of when I should do so. If I wait another month or two will the next ML of injections last longer?

There is no problems with using fillers after GB Syndrome. Since the syndrome affects nerves, I'd be cautious with using Botox, but it probably can be done a year out from the illness.

It looks like overfill but the final effect will be seen in 2 weeks when all swelling resolves. At that time, you can choose to dissolve the product and start again.Typically, the lower lip should have 30% more volume than the upper lip. An experienced injector should give you the proper...

It is unclear to me how you can inject yourself and where you would have purchased Juvederm if you are not a physician.  Please consult a board certified physician immediately and if there is pain you should return to the emergency room.  Please keep us posted.

Every once in a while there can be some filler that just doesn't dissolve naturally.  This is seen most often in the lower lids.  So worth trying some hyaluroindase to see if you can dissolve it.If this doesn't work then it may be some scar tissue.  5-FU and kenalog injections may be able to so...
