I had juvederm injected in my nasolabial folds and it moved from where it was injected to right above my lip. Why would this happen? Is it due to incorrect injection technique? Can this be prevented in the future?

Answer: Filler migration There are different fillers with a different physical properties, some stay well within the injected area and some gently diffuse to the surrounding tissue; this, however, is not the true migration. Some fillers like Radiesse are known to migrate on occasion, downward. Is it possible that Juvederm has done it? Very unlikely, but one could never say it is impossible. If it bothers you it could be dissolved with hyaluronidase; otherwise, if it is due to the filler it will eventually disappear being metabolized overtime. Good luck!

Answer: Can filler migrate? Depending when the filler was injected you may still be experiencing swelling. If you are concerned about the results of your treatment please follow up with your treating physician. Good luck with your recovery.
