I have gotten lip fillers (Juvederm and Restylane) 6 times since the end of August. They are good for two weeks and then they gradually get smaller, and are gone after a month. My Doctor says she has never tried anything like this and says it's very weird. She says that when i come back after a month she can feel that there's still something in my lips but it's not visible at all. Is there anything I can do or will my lips never accept the filler?

Answer: Juvederm and Restylane not lasting when injected into lips
Thank you for sharing your question. Injection of Hyaluronidase into the area of Juvederm will dissolve the product. Massaging the injected tissue might help to some extent. Make sure experienced doctors perform all procedures.Good luck,
Lumps from Juvederm cannot be permanent. They can be easily dissolved with Vitrase which will reduce the filler in a matter of days. Please consult an expert. Perhaps Restylane or Belotero would be a better filler for you. Best, Dr. Green
Bruising from Juvederm may appear immediately or the next day. To prevent bruising I always recommend Arnica before treatment and remind my patients to refrain from blood thinners such as Aspirin and Fish oil for at least 10 days before injection. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
