I got lip fillers 5 months ago. When I first got the procedure my lips were really chapped and peeled a lot. The rest of my lip healed but my inner top lip never seemed to heal. It would scab in the middle and then I would apply aquaphor and it would flake off by itself or I would peel it off because it looked bad. I’m worried that by peeling it off constantly I’ve delayed the healing process. I haven’t touched it for 2 days now, how long will it take to heal and grow as normal skin without peel
