I do not place any specific restrictions on normal activity after a Lip Augmentation procedure with Injectable Fillers. Most fillers would be mobile for up to a month if you forcefully squeeze an area with your thumb and index finger. Smiling, eating and kissing is fine. Avoid lip pinching and you shouldn't see any product migration. I hope you find this helpful.
Fillers do great in the lips and are moldable during the first few hours. They tend to swell for 1-2 days though and can look distorted alittle during that time so the less you tough, kiss or squeeze them, then the less swelling you cause.

This sounds like something that can easily be done as a minor office procedure. Most Board Certified plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons should be able to help you.
I prefer Juvederm for the lips as it is a smoother product than Restylane and blends in nicely with the natural, smooth texture of the lips. What’s even more important than the product is the experience and expertise of the injector!
Hi, It sounds like you may have had a hypertrophic scar which is different than a keloid. Keloids typically reoccur and grow out of the bounderies of the incision. I have never seen a keloid form on the lips. Best, Dr.S.
