How to fix a duck face? (Photos)

I think that rather than Dysport, the injector meant Hyaluronidase (Hyelex) to dissolve the filler if it was one of the Hyaluronic acid fillers. However it does appear as tho the filler was primarily injected into the central upper lip in the cupids bow, as you said, and perhaps would have looked more even to treat the entire upper and lower lip. When you look at the lips as a whole the upper lip should be about 1/3 volume and the lower lip 2/3 volume of the whole. Meaning the upper lip should appear smaller than the lower lip.Best wishes, Dr. G

I would recommend having hyaluronidase (and enzyme that dissolve hyaluronic acid based fillers) injected to reduce the overfilled appearance, this works quickly within 2-3 days results are seen. Neurotoxin injections will not make this much better. Best, Dr P.

I'm sorry you're unhappy with your filler treatment. Dysport would not help correct the look however. If HA fillers were used you can have the filler dissolved using hyaluronidase. See your injector for an evaluation and to learn more.

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.

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.

I am sure you meant hyaloronidase and not Dysport. Yes, you can reduce or, if necessary, eliminate the filler from your upper lip by injecting the enzyme hyaluronidase. Since your unwanted outcome was not caused by you nor the injected filler it is a full responsibility of the injector to correct the problem without charging you. I can not imagine otherwise. Why would you pay for your injector's mistake or incompetence? Stay strong and good luck!

Thank you for your question,

Thank you for the photos. In your case, I would not recommend Dysport, but hyaluronidase (if a hyaluronic acid filler was used) to dissolve the extra filler in your lips. If it was not a hyaluronic acid filler - you may have to wait until the filler disappears or dissolves. This general takes about 9 to 12 months depending on the filler. Also, make sure a skilled injector is performing your filler injections. Best of luck to you! 

Thank you for your question and for posting your photos.  It appears that most of the filler was placed in the central part of your upper lip.  Instead of Dysport, you need a hyaluronidase injection to dissolve the excess filler. 

It is possible to reverse this if they used a hyaluronic acid product but honestly it may reduce in the next week or so due to swelling and in reality it should be significantly reduced over the next few months so if you chose to wait it will return to normal in time.

Sorry you are having this issue.  Management will depend on the filler that was used for your lip injections.  The most common fillers for the lips, such as Juvederm ultra, Juvederm ultra plus, Restyane, and Volbella are all hyaluronic acid products.  If you have been injected with one of these fillers, then you should know that hyaluronidase could be injected to rapidly dissolve the filler and restore your natural lip shape.  Perhaps most important, make certain to find an experienced, certified injector who will spend time with you discussing your goals prior to injection, and show lots of before and afters, so that all your expectations can be met.  Good luck.
