Lip fillers gone wrong what should I do? 7 injections in 8 years & 5 hyaluronidase dissolutions (Photos)

With so many fillers injected and so many dissolving treatments it may be best to let your lips rest. Either allow the current product to be metabolized naturally or remove the remaining filler and do nothing. After your lips have completely healed visit with your injector to discuss a treatment plan.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. It sounds like you’ve had quite a journey with your lip treatments, and it's understandable to feel self-conscious about the results, especially with the persistent white line and your recent experience. In cases like yours, where there’s a combination of previous fillers, dissolutions, and new injections, it can indeed lead to unpredictable results. If the white line is prominent and you feel that your lips are not improving, it may be worth considering a complete dissolution of any remaining product. This would allow your lips to return to a baseline state, which can provide a clearer picture for potential future treatments. Once everything is dissolved, you may be able to reassess the lips and determine if you would like to be reinjected. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Lip filler outcomes are highly provided dependent.
There have been cases of patient developing long-term lasting changes from the injection of filler.
These changes do not represent prolonged lasting filler but likely a reaction to the treatment with inflammation and development of scar tissue.
In reality, we don’t really understand the true mechanism of why some people will develop long-term changes after they use of temporary fillers.
If you don’t like the effect of injecting fillers close to the skin surface along the vermillion border than avoid this treatment.
Ultimately, the decision of having the treatment and provider selection is your own.
Best,
