Hello Awesome71664, thank you for your question. From the photos provided, and assuming your filler was placed at least 1 month ago, it appears as though too much filler was placed in the middle (medial) part of the lip compared to the sides (lateral). I agree that one side appears to be emptier. The easiest way to fix an asymmetry would be to add filler in the more empty areas. If this is not an option, or if you would prefer to decrease the volume then the provider would dissolve it using Hylenex. Hope this helps!

We all have facial asymmetry to some degree and that can include our lips. Fillers are a great way to add volume and balance asymmetry. The treatment is done in the office with some improvement seen right away. The results last between 6 to 12 months, sometimes longer. See an expert injector near you to learn more.
Every single person in the world has some form of assymmetry on the face and body. The amount of asymmetry in your lips is minimal and does not require any attention but if you wish, you can definitely give it a shot and have someone corrected with the use of fillers. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
All people have facial asymmetry, and this will often present in mild lip, a symmetry as well.During embryological development, the upper lip forms as three separate segments that eventually fuse.Anatomically, we usually view the upper lip as having three segments and the lower lip as having a left and right segment. Failure of complete lip fusion leads to malformations like a cleft lip.Your lip looks pretty normal in the pictures you’ve included.I don’t see any need for intervention.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
Hi! Flying after getting lip filler is perfectly safe. Nothing will happen to the product nor your lips from flying. If you'd like, take Arnica before and after your appointment to help with bruising and swelling so it is decreased before your flight.
Hi! Some people migrate more quickly than others. This can be due to patient anatomy, injection technique or product choice. If the lip is bothersome to you, I would suggest dissolving rather than adding more product to avoid further migration. The dissolving process takes about 2 weeks, as the...
Potential solution to address your concern: 1. Hyaluronidase treatment: This enzyme can dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which might allow for a "reset" of the lip area and provide an opportunity for a more even reapplication of the filler. 2. Revision with a different filler: Certain...
From the photo, it looks like you are having a viral breakout such as fever blisters or cold sores coming or even a subclinical breakout. Prednisone and an antiviral pill and a cortisone cream will help a lot. I doubt it is related to the filler at this long time later.
Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin. This is a great question. After receiving lip filler it is completely normal to experience dryness and peeling. I recommend applying lots of Aquaphor and/or chapstick to keep the lips hydrated. I...
You may want to consider a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
