I asked my surgeon why he does it and he said because he doesn't want me to get swelling. I want the exact shape of upper lip (turned up) and he just press it on the middle and holds it for a few minutes. Is it the usual practice? Can you get a different shapes of lips with fillers or surgeon just follows the natural lip shape?

Answer: Different folks, different strokes Immediately after injection of materials, we "massage" the material into the lips to prevent "bumpy" noduals of materials in one location. If the injector is experienced, then the massaging is very soothing and methodical. If you surgeon "pinches" the injection site and holds his fingers there instead of rolling and pulling on your lips, then not sure what he's trying to accomplish. Now, if we encountered an injection site that bled a lot, then we may hold and pinch your lip with a piece of gauze or with our bare finger tips. The motion of the massage after injections is usually tend to in a rolling motion, not a pinch motion. Hope this helped.

Answer: Hyaluronic acid as a lip filler There is no need to press the filler after lip augmentation. I smooth the filler out to make sure there are no areas of fullness and that the filler is is not lumpy in anyway. I always use a linear threading technique so there are no bolus lumps. However, it always best to be safe and check. I always use Volbella for lips and since it has the consistency of agave it is always smooth.
