I received Restylane & Juveederm in my lips for the last 4 years. Slowly over time I noticed my lip on the right side (left side in picture) started to "split." I had filler injected in that gap but it didn't get filled for some reason, my lip just kept splitting. I then had hyaluronidase injected to try to even out my top lip but that was only a temporary fix. Eventually my lip started to split again. How can I fix this without surgery?

Hi @krithika_e. You would be a good candidate for tear trough fillers. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Restylane silk is a great new product indicated for the perioral rhytides and lip area only but swelling in this area should be expected because restylane is so hydrophilic. It is post op edema and will resolve over few days typically. Not indicated for the nasolablial folds. Would recommend you...
Hi Pearl2014, I suggest you see your physician to consider injecting the Restylane in the skin with Hyaluronidase to melt away any remaining Restylane in the unwanted area. Then at a later time use a cannula to inject Radiesse at a deeper plane to fix the folds.
