Is there a doctor in the Dallas, TX area that can fix a botched lip filler?

I had a doctor who was supposed to add fillers to my top and bottom lips with Restylane Silk but messed up the bottom lip, he injected under the bottom lip instead of the lip itself. This was done at the end of May 2015. The under part of my bottom lip is slowly coming down but I would love to have the filler dissolved and have normal lips which could eventually be injected properly.

Thank you for sharing your question. Allergy testing is not necessary prior to injection of hyaluronic acid fillers, but you cannot blame a doctor for being overly cautious. I hope this helps. Good luck,

Thank you for your question and photos.  It is not uncommon for Restylane (or any hyaluronic acid filler, for that matter) to cause some swelling.  Even a tiny bit of swelling in such a small area as the tear troughs will look pretty obvious.  Without a "before" picture, I do not have a co...

Hi @Beesgirl. After 7 days, you may still be experiencing some swelling. If you are unhappy with the final results after 2 weeks, you can dissolve the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
