Repost with pic. Only subtle difference after 3 syringes of Juvederm and Restylane. Normal? (Photos)

Question

I had 3 syringes put into my lips.. Juvederm Ultra Plus which faded in a few days, then added a syringe of Restylane Silk which also seemed to fade in a few days, finally she added Restylane Defyne.. but as usual after a week, once the swelling was gone, down to almost nothing. Barely subtle. The injector doesn't understand why the filler isn't taking. After 3 full syringes, my lips should appear to be much much larger. Is it possible my body just absorbs filler therefore doesn't work for me?

Payman Kosari, MD, FAAD · Answer

It is quite odd for the filler to break down this fast.  Three syringes of filler into the lips, one of them being Defyne, would yield a noticeable size increase in lip size.  I agree that if this was a mid-level provider you may want to see a physician to be properly evaluated.  Best of luck!

What you are describing is very unusual. Are you seeing a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist? I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with one to get an in person second opinion as to what it going on. Best of luck.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

it is highly unlikely that all of the above product that you have used so far would be gone so quickly. I would make sure that whoever is injecting you with these products is a physician such as a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Good luck from York City
