Recommended lip filler after previous nightmare? Left with raised mouth area, that stuck out in a pitch black room. (photo)

Hello,Thank you for your question and picture. While its understandable that you want a dramatic change, based on your last reaction, it may be a good idea to gain this change slowly. You may want to look into Volbella, it is a much softer filler that gives a slight plump and adds a beautiful shine to the lips because of hydration. It is best to visit a local physician to have an in person consultation with a doctor about the best course of action.Good luck

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and I am sorry that your lip results were not what you anticipated.  I would advocate discussing your dissatisfaction with your surgeon to assess ways to avoid lip protrusion.  Much will depend on the injection pattern used.  Because of the sensitivity of the lip tissues I would advocate for slow incremental addition of any hyaluronic acid filler to maintain a natural appearance.  Hope this helps.

These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO Nova threads can also be used to improve shape and provide lift. Fat or implants are an alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
