Why do I have this brown line along top vermillion border & how to remove it? (Photos)
January 9, 2023
Asked By:ingrid87 in Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia
Have had lip filler 3 times in 8 years. Last time was about 3 years ago. I have recently noticed a brown line along the top lip vermillion border. It is very unsightly and I did not have it prior. I would like to know: Why I have it? What is it? Best treatment to remove it? Will more filler make it worse? If removed and filled again will it come back if removed? Will my lips be affected cosmetically if removal of line is done? Thank you

Yes, you should be able to continue with facial lip fillers at any time as long as you are healing appropriately. It is always a good idea to check with your surgeon as opinions may vary and she/he is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.
