Injectable Fillers in your lips may be forced to move if you apply excessive pressure.

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.

Restylane or Juvederm can shift alittle in the lips during the first day if there is a lot of pressure on it.

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.  Cost:  juvederm or restylane $550/syringe. Permanent lip implants $1500-2000 per lip.

It is unlikely that fillers injected into the lips will migrate significantly without undue force after the injection more than 48 hours previously.
