Can I dissolve a filler without doing damage to my lips?

Question

I had 0.5 ml in my upper lip (Stylage filler). It's been 5 days. I don't like it. Can I dissolve it without doing damage to my lips?

Thank you for your question. It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can be asymmetrical, and last 1-2 weeks after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi,Thank you for your question. It may take two weeks for the swelling to dissolve from the HA filler. If after the two weeks it is still asymmetrical, I recommend to dissolve the filler and start again. Dissolving the filler will bring you back to your natural beauty. I suggest to see an expert injector around your area to tailor a treatment best for you. Best of luck!Dr. Deborah Longwill
