Is the swelling related to the type of filler or just a reaction from my immune response? Will the persistent swelling cause any scarring?

Hi @elena1200, You can inject a few units of Botox into the DAO muscle. Treatment will cause the corners of the mouth to be slightly lifted, giving the mouth a more relaxed, happy, youthful and pleasing appearance. You would likely repeat this treatment a few times a year.

VO risk in lips can be minimised if your medical professional uses a cannula instead of a needle.Cannula has a blunt tip and is much safer.Also VO in lips does not lead to blindness and can be reversed immediately with hyaluronidase
