How can I try and get hyaluronic acid out of my lips?

SueAnn53Mar 13, 2015

Please help me to reduce the size of my lips. PLEASE!!!!! I just wanted my lips enlarged just a little. The lady enlarged my lips about 4 times the size they were. When I smile, my teeth don't even show. I am so embarrassed. I heard there is Hualuronidase that can be injected in your lips or small incisions in your lips and try to squeeze out the filler. I had the filler injections done about a year ago. Please, is there anything else I can try? Please help me!!

Injecting synthetic hyaluronidase does not effect your bodys natural connective tissue.  The solution attracts synthetic fillers which have a different pH than your bodys natural connective tissue.  Best, Dr. Emer.
