$650
I got my first filler and it was perfect. I wanted more thereafter. The origional doctor didn't want to add more, so I went to another. They now look horrible! This 2nd doctor injected me with restylane and numbed me so much that the right side of my lip isn't fully back to normal in 3 weeks. My lips have visible lumps and feel horrible to me. I would do this again, but only with the recomendation of the best in Boston. I spent top dollar too. I went back, and the doctor said they are just fine. LOL. I want the lumps out so badly. Does anyone know what I can do to get them out? Thanks! Mass. Burbs

Hi, I had the outline of my lips done with juviderm by another doctor. I wanted them thereafter to be more full. I was told about this Dr. right in my city of Beverly, Ma. She used restylyn mixing the two. The outline that was so well done was even ruined. Now, I have noticeable bumps on the top and bottom. She (the Dr.) said it's just fine. Oh, by the way, she mentioned that she would give me a deal on the restylane as it was about to expire and went on to tell me that it doesn't expire in the lips. I was numbed so badly that it took 1 whole day to even feel as far up as my eye again. She told me because of the bumps that I can't have my lips done for another year. This bothers me as I have nothing showing as far as larger or plumper also after she did this. Sad case, 650.00 gone and a Dr. that honestly? did not care. The bumps are both inside and outside and they are driving me nuts as to how the not only look, but feel. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to spend more of my hard earned money to have what I truly want for myself. I need a true professional in my area. Thanks a million for any help that you can give me! Sincerely, Kath

Hi Kath,
You can have both Restylane and Juvederm dissolved with a product called Hyaluronidase. Of course, it has its own side effects, but it might be worth looking into. You can find another doctor in your area through our Massachusetts directory (I know there are a few in Boston who offer hyaluronidase) or ask for advice and doctor recommendations on our Q&A forum.
Hope that helps!

Hi Sharon, Thanks so very much helping me with a possible solution. I had wished the Dr. that did this to me could have recomended it. Again, Thank you

Hi, Thanks for your interest!..I haven't found any doctor as of yet. I did email a Dr. in Concord, Ma. but, I never heard from him. I know that Northeast Dermatology has a great reputation. They were the 1st to outline my lips, it was done perfectly!. I just wanted someone with more knowledge to make them fuller. By the way, I think all the restylane for 650.00 (what the Dr, called a deal because it's ready to expire), is now gonw. I still have the bumps, a little less noticible. I don't know how long I have to wait (if I even do) to have them done again. Thanks so much for your reply, if you hear of anyone good in Mass. I would love to know.

Hi. There is a procedure that can alter your lips. The doctor will make 1 or 2 small incisions below (under the crease) of your nose to bring the top lip up and create a fuller look. If you choose to then add a filler as well, it will double the enhancement. That is truly disturbing what you had gone through with that recent doctor. We put faith in people and should expect gratifying results. Your initial doctor may have had good reason not preform on you, and it might have been wise to further educate yourself about his particular reason and ask for alternative options, though we are all entitled to a second opinion. At the same time, I feel you were a victim to the second doctor's negligence. Best of luck to you.

I finally found a new Dr. in NH for lips, she's unreal! Mine came out beautiful! She's a dentist not a dermatoligist.Dentists are by far better for the job! Dr. Schaffer? agai, a total rip off. Keep away for lips!

I had o.5 of a ml of Belotero put into my lips to see if I liked it and could tolerate the pain. We left the topical numbing cream on for about an hour and kept applying it and it wasnt really painful nor did I bruise (i had no anaesthetic in the mouth). My lips look natural, just more defined. The person who did this only injects it in the mid lip, not the borders, as this is when you get the whole trout pout look.
Im going to get a bit more put in just for more fullness, not for ridiculous size lips.
Be conservative and do your research and check how they are going to do it and think about whether you can handle any possible pain or swelling after if it reacts.

Hi, That's what I got..We called it a cupid's bow look in the middle of my lips! This lady is awesome!..I would never go back to a dermotolist again!...

You should have listened to the first Dr who said not to do another injection..

I am so glad I listened to myself. I even went further...I finally, the 3rd time found a woman that did perfect!..Not a dermitologist, a dental specialist..She put the filler inside the middle of my lips that gave them what we called a cupids bow look...The others did only around my lips...WRONG!!!...Also, if there were any left in the way of what she did for me, they have a solution that can easily be injected to remove the other...By the way, she did a topical number, didn't bother me at all...I say the dentists that re doing this now are better than the skin doctors..I know another that;s tops in Massachusetts...Oh, the price that made my lips perfect?..500.00....Now if that isn't a great Dr. of what!!!!Your post has no detail as to what you said...I've been researching this to death!
Sorry to hear about the problems you're having. Do you know what kind of filler was used (Juvederm, Restylane, etc)? That will help narrow down the options for removal. I've also heard that massaging helps.
