Thank you erikalbrito for your question. You should absolutely not have any injections while having a shingle outbreak. Best of luck.

One should never have lips augmented while having shingles anywhere on the body just because the shingles outbreak can potentially occur in the lip area. Good luck from New York City
Can not really understand the question, however if one is having Shingles, it can spread to the lips as the injection points can break skin. The solution is to take anti-viral medications to reduce the spread of the virus. I would continue to take the medication for 3 days after lip injections on the side of safety. Dr Isobel Walker.
Having a cigarette after lip augmentation should not cause a lip bump. One should give approximately 10 to 14 days after the treatment. If the bump does not disappear, one should have a follow up with their treating physician.
It is not to your benefit, aesthetically and medically, to have a massive filler overload, particularly in the lips! It is certainly not your fault but the injector's. It can be corrected quite easily. Suggestion - change your injector!!! Good luck!
It will take 1-2 weeks for final results after your most recent touch-up. If you're unhappy with these results, a different type filler may be needed.
You are correct that softform may in fact be very difficult to remove. The photographs you have submitted are very limited so for that reason I believe you should be evaluated in person by a plastic surgeon. There may be many options available to you.
Wearing Chapstick 12 hours after lip injections should not be a problem unless stated otherwise by your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. In my practice I encourage patients to moisturize their lips with a Chapstick that contains SPF.
Thank you for your question! If it has been over two weeks since your injection I recommend contacting your injector for direction. Best of luck!
