Lines and visible veins above lip after Vobella. Can this be corrected?

Question

I had Vobella injections in my upper (and lower) lip 2 months ago. I was quite swollen for a few days but no bruising. I did notice vertical lines and blue veins above my top lip right after the injections, but assumed they would go away with the swelling. They have not. They look awful and I'm afraid they will never go away. When I talk it looks as if I have smoker lines, which I did not have before. I've tried heat and massage, but nothing helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  It appears that your lip creases and border was overfilled with the Vobella, and after two months the best treatment would be to dissolve the product with hyaluronidase.  Hope this helps.

Hi thank you for your question.  It would be very helpful if you could post a before photo as well.  But, based on what I see it appears to be over filled.  If this is the case the product can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.  
The best way to determine what is right for is an in person consultation with your injector or another board certified injector.  Best of luck!
