How do I remove the halo above my lips after fillers?

Question

My lips look awful with this extreme filling above my look after many previous treatments. I have noticed that there is a heavy “halo” above my lips. It looks very obvious I’ve gotten my lips done and i don’t like it. The doctor that did my injections, did the droplet effect in my lips. (When you go in and out only on the outline of the lips) How do I fix this and how soon can I refill the upper lip after getting it corrected?

Thanks for your question. This is caused by having too much filler injected in to the vermillion border of your lip (the outline). Options for you going forward are to have this dissolved with Hyalase however this will also settle over the next month or so as it integrates in to your lips. If you do opt for correction it would be best to leave it 4 weeks before considering getting more filler in the same area

I'm not sure when you had your injections. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with lip fillers. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question! It appears that too much filler was placed on your lip border. I would have the hyaluronic acid filler dissolved with Vitrase since that will reverse this effect. Please consult a specialist in lip fillers for the best cosmetic results. Best of luck!

If it has already been 7-14 days after the treatment and you still have this "halo" effect, then I would return to your injector to have some of the filler reversed using hyaluronidase.
