I had filler( teyosal kiss) put into my lips about a week ago, I have a dentist appointment for a check up and some scaling which will put me at 8 days post injection. My post care instructions say "no squeezing or massaging for couple of hours afterward", I should be ok to get dental work at 8 days after or will it manipulate the product out? Thank you

Answer: Dentist Appointment After Filler Injections
Jason Emer, MDDermatologic Surgeon, Board Certified in Dermatology

Looking at your picture, that looks like normal swelling. Swelling can occur around the area of injection, including above the lip. It can take up to two weeks for the swelling to subside, and after that period of time you should book an appointment with your doctor for a review of the results.
Seek the advice of a well trained cosmetic dermatologist for evaluation and treatment. This is not the outcome you should have gotten and would want. Best, Dr. Emer.
