Question:
A friend of mine from Davie recently had injectable fillers in her lips. She was very swollen afterward and when the swelling went down her lips were very uneven. Is there some reason why this happens and what can she do to fix her lips now?
Answer:
I’m sorry to hear that. There are several options depending on the type of filler used. The first would be to give it a little more time and see if it continues to improve. The second and likely best option is to add more to even out the areas of concern. The last option if a hyaluronic acid filler was used (Juvederm, Restylane) would be to inject small amounts of hyaluronidase which is an enzyme that dissolves the filler.
