Can over filled lips cause bad smile lines over time? (Photos)

Question

Does overfilled lips cause worse smile lines? I feel since my have migrated over the years its worsening the smile lines and skin quality. Now I’m thinking do i need a midface lift or dissolve the filler with a lip lift.

Thank you for your inquiry and sharing your photograph. Although the lip filler can migrate, it is not likely to dramatically change the skin quality, and the visibility of the smile lines will depend on the positioning of the filler, not just the volume. If you are contemplating a volume reduction for the lips, I would suggest deferring the decision regarding lip lift and mid-face changes until you see how the face looks with less volume. Sometimes the changes can be pleasing, in particular if there is partial removal of the filler. Sadly, partial removal of the filler is not always possible, as the hyaluronic base does not provide a very granular control for these changes, but it is possible to use moderate amounts and a progressive approach.

It is difficult to notice any of the problems on this photo. In person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon would help you to diagnose the problem and discuss options of treatment. Good luck.

Thank you for your question.
Overfilled or migrated lip filler may disrupt facial balance and can make smile lines appear more prominent over time. In such cases, dissolving the filler may help achieve a more natural look and improve overall harmony.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.
Overfilled or migrated lip filler can sometimes affect the balance of the lower face and may make smile lines appear more pronounced, especially over time. In some cases, dissolving the filler can help restore a more natural contour and improve overall harmony.
I hope this helps.
