I had lip fillers done 3 weeks ago, I knew right away she had injected too much around my Cupid's bow and I now have a duck face, I went back for a review and she now wants me to pay to have dysport injections to correct it!!? I know there are risks with that and obviously I have lost confidence in her, not sure what to do! Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Answer: Focus on whole perioral and lip area of your mouth first Whilst it does look like your cupids bow has a little too much injected we really need to fix the whole perioral and lip area of your mouth. Firstly as you can see from your profile image your top lip protrudes more than your bottom lip. This ratio should be the other way. The ideal size ratio is 1 for the top lip to 1.6 times for the bottom lip. So you Bottom Lip needs to be injected with filler to get closer to this ratio. Next you can see that the corners of your mouth face downwards and the marionette lines (lines from the corner of the mouth to your chin/jawline) are quite strong with you. We need to use some filler in this area to strengthen and support the lower part of you mouth and potentially use some Botox to do either a lip flip or to treat your DAO’s (depressor anguli oris muscle) This would lift the corners of your mouth upwards and help widen your lips. My recommendation would be to do all of this first and then reassess whether your cupids bow needs to be dissolved. My thoughts are it most likely will be but I would leave this till the end.

Answer: Dysport® won't dissolve fillers. The better solution for fixing issues related to injectable filler is with hyaluronidase, which dissolves HA fillers. However, it's possible you might feel happier with your results in a week or two after the initial swelling fades. What you're seeing right now is not what your final results will look like. If you're still dissatisfied after 2 weeks, you can still have the filler dissolved at that point. Best of luck.
