Juvederm Lip Filler: Do I need to have the filler dissolved? (Photos)

Hello, in my opinion if you are unhappy with the fillers then you should seek to get it dissolved. It is hard to discuss the technique used as we were not witness to it and we don't see "before" photos to compare to and every patient's case is unique; however, I would consider 3ml's of HA to be a large amount of product to place in the lips, especially just the upper lip, if that was the case in you. If you don't feel you are getting the communication or support you need from your current injector, I would recommend seeking a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The simple answer to the question of whether HA filler should be dissolved is whether or not the result of the treatment is desirable. Clearly, when too much has been given and/or inappropriate placement has caused unwanted enlargement in conspicuous areas, hyaluronidase dissolution is reasonable to consider. In my experience of well over three decades injecting these kinds of fillers, approximately one syringe is usually more than adequate to straighten downturned angles of the mouth. You would be wise to make sure to consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector. Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. After that amount of product, and based on your narrative, I would advocate dissolving the filler product to return to a more natural appearance.

Hi there! It is possible to have filler migration. The corners of the lip can be difficult to flip out while avoid a "ducky" look. Three syringes to the lips is quite a bit of filler assuming you had 1 cc vials, unless your lips were very small to begin with. The options would include small amounts of hyaluronidase to dissolve some. Or, to wait to see if further refinement occurs. Hope this helps you!

Thank you for your question! It’s possible that your provider used too much filler and/or poor placement when injecting you with Juvéderm. Since you’re unhappy with your results, you can have an experienced provider inject hyaluronidase into the treatment area to dissolve the remaining filler. Hope this helps!

Based on your photos it does appear too much filler was used and placement was an issue. It may be best to have the filler dissolved. I encourage you to go slowly with filler to build up to a look you are wanting. Always see an experienced injector for treatment.
