I had lip filler in September of 2022. The filler did not settle properly and some has been dissolved since then, but my lips are uneven and I have a crooked smile. I just saw a plastic surgeon who added Hyaluronidase to the corner part of lips thinking it would even out my mouth but it hasn’t. Do I need more filler, more hyaluronidase or leave it alone? I’ve included a picture of how wide my smile was before lip filler and then almost a year after filler and currently.
Answer: Lip lift You are a candidate for a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Answer: Hyaluronidase I can suggest that you continue to communicate with your plastic surgeon or seek a second opinion from another qualified professional. They can examine your lips and provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.

Answer: Lip filler gone wrong? Treatment depends Unfortunately there is not a simple answer to your question. It will depend on how many times treated, presence or absence of scar tissue, and which filler was used…the last being most important. Depending upon what was used and where, most patients will be able to get this resolved without surgery. Based on your lip anatomy, a lip lift would be a much better and more suitable long term option after the visible filler and/or scar tissue is managed. is

Answer: May not be filler now You may be having inflammation of a minor salivary gland in the lip at this point so hyaluronidase is not going to help. I would treat that by (1) placing a steroid injection (kenalog) and expecting improvement. If that is not adequate we could try (2) removal of part of the gland. Both are straightforward in the office procedures.
