I've had filler placed on one side of my lip for asymmetry. Initially, I was very happy, but now it seems to be creating a heaviness in the white part of the lip on that side. Also, the red lip bows out. I spoke with my injector and she said filler can only be placed at the center of the lip and there's only so much room for the filler to go, so it's heading into the area above my red lip. Is there any way to prevent this? Can filler be placed so it creates downward volume rather than out?

Answer: Lip augmentation Dear Realgrl30,I typically use Juvederm for my lip sculpting. There are two main focuses of lip injections, adding volume and actually sculpting the shape. Both involve injecting the filler in different areas of the lips and patterns. I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months if done correctly.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
