- December '14: injected w/ Voluma in lips - July '15: lips almost back to normal, got Juvederm by new doctor, still felt like upper lip was "top heavy." Stopped lip fillers altogether - June '16: injections of the dissolvent (went down a bit) - May '17: Still feel like I have filler left or scar tissue.Could voluma still be in lips? If it is scar tissue, will it get worse? Went to a facial plastic surgeon, felt my lips & said it didnt feel like scar tissue, but how can you tell from feeling it?

Answer: How do I know if i have scar tissue build up in my lips from Voluma?
Hi,Based on your photo, Voluma would be a great choice to fix that area. Voluma can be placed via microcannula for global filling or direct needle for spot treatments. It is very precise and I think better than Sculptra for you since you see the result right away.Warmly,Dr.Liu
I don't typically use Voluma to treat the tear trough. It's a bit too thick and can be problematic. The fact that you are happy with your results is great. I would encourage you to let things be. Underfilling this area is the right approach.
