Had my migrated lips dissolved and refilled, are they migrated again? (Photo)

When dealing with lip filler migration, it's important to understand the potential causes and solutions. Here are some key points to consider:

Migration Reoccurrence: Filler migration can happen for various reasons, including the type of filler used, the technique of injection, or individual anatomical factors. If your lips appear migrated again, it's possible that one or more of these factors may still be at play.

Dissolving Fillers: Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers. While effective, repeated use can potentially impact the natural tissues, so it should be done cautiously and only when necessary.

Potential Damage: Constant dissolving may lead to temporary swelling or irritation, but with proper care and spacing between treatments, significant damage to the lips is unlikely. However, it's crucial to have these procedures performed by an experienced professional.

Consultation: If you suspect migration again, it's best to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They can assess your situation and recommend the best course of action, whether it involves dissolving, refilling, or adjusting the technique.

Prevention: To prevent future migration, ensure that your injector uses appropriate techniques and products suited for your specific needs. Discussing your previous experiences can help in tailoring a more effective treatment plan.

Ultimately, a careful and personalized approach will help achieve the desired results while minimizing the risk of migration and the need for repeated dissolving.

Hi, and thank you for your question. This depends on two factors: how much filler your current provider is using to inject your lips, and what time type of hyaluronic acid they are using. There are many different viscosities, thickness, and flexibility to the fillers. It appears you have what is called tight lip tissue which requires an extremely soft and flexible product choice. It is also very important that you wait a minimum of 4-6 weeks after dissolving to refill to give the migrated tissue space time to heal.

It does appear that your fillers have migrated or were injected improperly. You can have them dissolved with hyaluronidase. Discuss your concerns with your injector to avoid this happening with future treatments.

Thank you for your question and including pictures. Filler migration refers to filler moving from the area where it was injected to a different area. Therefore there is no way for us to know if it has migrated or if this is where it was injected.
