I have made lip reduction on both lips one month ago and now my upper lip is uneven. Can I inject HA filler to correct the uneveness?? If so, how mich do I have to wait from the intervention to have i jectable fillers? Are two months enough?? Is it true that the filler may migrate because of the post-operation scars? the uneveness is at the bottom of my upper lip. there is a hole at hte right side pf my upper lip when my mouth is closed.

Hello,Lips can be reduced in an office setting. It is done usually under local anesthesia and patients are made quite comfortable. The sutures are placed on the inside portion of the lip to help conceal a scar. Final results are between 3-6 months.

Thank you for your question about your permanent lip filler.Yes, a lip reduction is needed to remove permanent filler.Most plastic surgeons hate doing this - for two reasons.First, several procedures are needed to get an acceptable result.Second most people want to look they way they did before...
Thank you for your question about your lip scar and lip reduction.Your photo suggests that a minor office procedure can remove the stretched red lip.This can be done under magnification with a nice result - but the result will take about 6 months to appear since surgery will cause some swelling...
