Does my filler look too much or bad? (Photos)

It's difficult to say through pictures alone but the lip augmentation seems to be balanced. Ultimately it is your opinion that matters most. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, I don’t think it looks like too much. In fact it is hard to tell where exactly the filler was placed. Your face looks a bit wider and fuller which is a younger configuration, compared to a longer, narrower, drawn face. In your “before” photo, you don’t have any hollows that were visible, so the only differences are looking marginally wider which would be hard to tell for the casual observer. Of the 5 cc, perhaps, 1 of the syringes was placed in the lower lip and upper lip to define the upper lip. It looks fine, but I also thought your natural lips looked very nice already. With so many of the #Russianlips on Instagram, I think the young women and men are slowly being brainwashed to think this looks normal and everyone should do it. I think moderation is important. I ask my patients to provide younger photos of themselves to see if their lips have truly shrunk. If so, I will try to restore the lips to that level of volume, and maybe a touch more if they want it. I will avoid patients who are looking for #russianlips or have them seek multiple other injectors who will be happy to inject them to give them that look.

Your photos don't show any obvious "over filled" look. If you have concerns about your results and HA fillers were used, they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. I encourage you to discuss your treatment with your injector and learn more about your options.
