I am interested in lip filler to enhance and help even out my lips. Also, I am interested in a fuller top lip with more "lift" when viewed by my profile view. Can these be accomplished successfully with my lip shape without creating "trout pout"?
Convey to the dermatologist or plastic surgeon your desire to have a natural result, and that you would prefer to have to come back for more filler rather than being over filled. I prefer Juvederm for a natural looking lip enhancement and would avoid permanent products.
Hi, I had a lip augmentation (with hyraluronic acid) yesterday,only uppler lip, a low dose (half shot) to even my lips and fill the upper right part got thinner by age. When i left the Doctors practice all was perfect, no swelling, no bruise. i went to gym then dinner but after 6 hours right side started to swell. now there is a big difference with right and left. is it nomal? can it be removed? thank you for your time.
I generally advise my patients to avoid excercising right after Juvederm or Restylane injections as I feel it contributes to swelling. If the swelling is painful, ask the physician who injected you (hopefully it was a physician) for a very short course of prednisone to help with the swelling if taking benadryl doesn't help. The lip should calm down quickly. I agree with the other commentors that if the lips looked good when you left, then it is a good bet they will settle down and look good.
I had collagen lip injections 23 years ago which never fully deflated. This was supposed to be collagen from sheep and would be temporary, 2 to 6 months. To this day there are lumpy deposits in my upper lip. There is no pain, nor does it look awful. But 1) there is a "dent" on one side of the lip, and 2) I don't have as toothy a smile these days due to the bulk in the center. It would be nice if it could be smoothed out somehow. Would massage do anything or is it too late?
After 23 years any collagen should have degradated. You were most likely injected with something else, or your body formed granulomas around the injection sites. See a knowledgeable dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area to discuss options. One treatment to consider would be an injection of triamcinolone (a steroid) to try to break down the excessive tissue. A biopsy of the puffy part of the lip would help in determining what the problem is exactly, and what the best plan of action is.
Hope that helps.
