I’ve been working on my lips since December 2021. I had one syringe Dec 1st, another syringe Dec 29th, and half a syringe Mar 1. I'm expected back in September for another syringe. I was worried my filler was migrating but my nurse insisted that the ledge would get worse before better and that after my last session, it’d be gone after healing for 6 months. Is this true or are we just adding more filler to the problem? Thanks!

Answer: Lip filler migration Hi Ash, Dr. Walter Joseph here from Beverly Hills, CA! I hope you're well. Although it's a bit difficult to tell from a photograph and without a proper exam, it does appear that you're having a bit of filler migration on your top lip. There seems to be some filler that is beyond your vermillion border (the border between the pink of the lip and the skin), particularly in the 2nd photo of the oblique view. In this situation, I would typically recommend dissolving the existing filler that has extended beyond the lip and the vermillion border and re-augment 2 weeks after dissolving. I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any more questions!

Answer: Dissolve and refill Whether it's migrated, put in the wrong place, too much filler put in too quickly, or the wrong filler for the area, that shelf will not spontaneously resolve itself for a long time if at all. You should be seen in person to be evaluated, but plan to dissolve the filler and refill.
