Why does my Lip Filler always look like this? (photos)

They are injecting too much into the white roll of the lip, which is on the skin side. It is common when you inject from the skin side (which is more comfortable) and with lighter bodied fillers. Every picture I have seen of this lip augmentation (even on their ads), they are overfilling the skin side. I am not sure if it is how they are teaching people to do it, but there should not be that much accentuation of the white roll. Especially if they are not matching it with the philtrum to give an overall elevated appearance.

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

I personally do not care for this type of lip treatment. While you do not have the classic "wax lip" look, these lips are not natural. I agree that you have a small lip shelf that extends beyond the red roll. The lips are overfilled centrally in my opinion. Also your injector did not provide much volume in the lateral lips creating the impression of a drop off of the lip. In addition, the upper lip is too strong. The upper lip should be no bigger than the lower lip and in most cases, less full. Many women like this type of service. I think natural is better. The fillers you are getting (Juvederm) are runny and that is why they drift out of the lip proper and create the upper lip shelf. I greatly prefer high G prime fillers such as Restylane for the lip. The high G prime filler is harder to work with but it stays where it is put.
