I had Artefill injected around 10 years ago and regret it. It looks like it was injected below my bottom lip border and is very assymetrical. Is there anyway to fix there or at least make it appear more normal. It looks like two blobs under my lip. Thanks
Answer: Artefill and Permanent Results This is one of the reasons that I don't use any permanent injections. Artefill had many terrible problems. The best advice would be to consult someone who can surgically remove the product at this point. For lips I always prefer a hyaluronic acid based filler. If you don't like the results it can be removed and you Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Artefill in the Lips I am sorry that you are having this problem. Are you sure that you had Artefill? Artefill was not available in the US until late 2006 and not many people were injecting it for the next few years. There are a number of similar products that were available in Mexico that gave results similar to yours and that is why I am wondering. From what can be seen, you may need surgery to correct your situation. I have not found injections to be that useful for your situation.I hope that helps.Best regards.
