I went back and we added a syringe of Restylane Silk. Again, after swelling, the result was barely noticeable. At this point, they added yet another syringe of Restylane Defyne recommended by the rep, after a week, my lips are back to normal. There is Barely a Subtle Difference from before I had any fillers. After 3 full syringes, it should be more than subtle. What's the deal?
Answer: Lip Filler and Augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. I am sorry you had a negative experience with fillers. There is a very small population of people who simply absorbs fillers and there is no way of knowing until after the product has been injected. I recommend you speak with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about a lip implant.

Answer: Please post pictures Its hard to really comment on this without pictures. Please provide before and after pictures for us to analyze. In general, filling of the lip is done with very low g prime fillers. Sometimes some people need more filler than others. I would loop back with your MD and have him take a look to see if you want more.

Answer: Lip Augmentation Results with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Implants or Fat This is difficult to answer without before and after pictures. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO Nova threads can also be used to improve shape and provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: No Apparant Difference after Lip Injection Hi and thank you for sharing your question! What you are experiencing appears to be out of ordinary. Fillers you have received are all based on hyaluronic acid - a gel that is naturally present in the skin - so one would assume that if your body is somehow breaking it down very quickly, it should be doing the same to your own natural hyaluronic acid as well. Of course not all fillers are created equally, and for many patients specially those who want to see fuller lips with longer lasting results, I usually recommend Voluma. Also with some fillers such as Restylane Silk, the results might be more subtle, so it would be best to do another follow up with your doctor and do an accurate reassessment including comparison of before and after pictures. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Had Ultra Plus in lips. After swelling went down, looks like there's no filler. Possible that fillers don't work on some people? Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your results have not been what you anticipated. It would be useful to see a series of images before and after your images, as well as your goal look so that the best treatment recommendation can be made. After three syringes of filler I do agree with you that your results should be anything but subtle. Some patients do have the ability at absorbing filler quickly but not within a week. You may want to consider a second opinion on treatments.
