I had lip fillers over 18 months ago and I've never been 100% happy with the results. I noticed straight away they were uneven, and most of the filler was focused in the cupids bow of my lips (she used the Russian lips technique). This left a slightly odd shape, my top lip now dips in the middle and on the outer edges. However I am happy with the volume. The filler used was Starfill. If I wanted to get them corrected, would they need to be dissolved first? I'd prefer not to dissolve them.
Answer: Lip filler correction It is best to dissolve them completely,wait 2 weeks and do again filler.Correction on top of previous work might lead to more unsatisfactory results

Answer: Lip filler Typically lip filler can last anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the filler used and on the patient. Starfill is quoted to last 12 months. You have a few options at this point. The first is to just get your lips filled again seeing as you are 18 months out from your prior treatment. I would recommend maybe going to see another provider or if you really like your previous injector you should talk to them about maybe changing their technique or product. Definitely let your injector/provider know your issues so that they can address them and try to give you the results you want. The other option is to get the filler dissolved if you think you still have residual filler in your lips that is causing the issue. Typically a patient needs to wait 2-4 weeks between dissolving filler and refilling their lips. By dissolving the filler you will be able to start with a completely clean slate instead of adding additional filler to any area that has already been filled. Hope this helps
