Can overfilled lips be corrected? What are my options? Concerned about bumps and possible migration.(photos)

In this case it is best to either dissolve the filler entirely or let it dissolve with time. After a few weeks once everything has settled you may pursue lip filler again.

Hi @Thoughtful720107! I am sorry you are dealing with this. Unfortunately, this appears to be lip filler migration. I recommend dissolving your lips with Hylenex and starting with a fresh canvas. Best of luck to you!

Hello, Thank you for your question. The first thing I would recommend is dissolving all of the filler and starting over. The migration will dissolve along with the bumps. After 2 weeks, you and your injector can decide which filler best meets your needs.
A neuromodulator will help with the downturned corners of your mouth and can also help with the upper lip by relaxing the contraction of the muscle that surrounds your mouth and pulls the upper lip under, making your upper a little more full. This will help in the interim between dissolving and your new lip filler. I hope this helps! It is very important that you find an injector you can trust and maintain a relationship with, in order to get your best results. Good luck with your journey!

There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1 to 2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 minutes at a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer​​

Thank you for your question! It’s important to have a provider perform an in-person consultation to assess your filler, but it’s possible that you are experiencing some lip filler migration. If your current results bother you, you can talk to your injector about dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. Otherwise, you can let your body naturally metabolize the filler over time, which typically takes about a year. Hope this helps!

Your lip filler can absolutely be reversed. Depending on the type of filler that was injected, you might need more than one session to completely remove it all.

Hi there! If you feel the lips are overinflated and bumpy, an option would be to use hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler. This enzyme breaks down the filler. This can be performed in small amounts with massaging at home after. It often works well if used carefully. That may be a good starting point. If the lumps are hard like nodules, steroid injections could work. I would visit with an injector who can help evaluate what may be the best option. Hope this helps!

Hi there,

It appears as if the placement is not quite right. I am sorry that this has happened to.
Follow up with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist. Always research your injector.

Best of luck!
