How are lip fillers fixed if you are unhappy with results? Is more filler added? (photos)

Thank you for your question! Sometimes filler requires a little correction after the first injection but there are many ways to dissolve or even it out. The cost would ultimately be up to the injector but don’t be afraid to go back and speak with them. We wish you the best!

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

Hello there! If you are unhappy with the way your lip filler turned out, you can either add more or have it dissolved. Cost for this depends on the injector who will do the treatment. Always consult with a board certified medical professional for your options.

Thank you for you question. There are a couple of different options when it comes to correcting asymmetry from lip injections. One option would be to dissolve some from the other side. If you are happy with the look of the more full side then I would suggest adding some to the deficient side to even them out. Cost would be at the discretion of the injector for dissolving or adding more product. Good luck!  

Thanks for your question.  You could have the Volbella dissolved, but might be more unhappy if they look a lot smaller that what you had in mind.  There is also some evidence pointing to the possibility that the hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler can also dissolve some of your native collagen, and it is usually charged to the patient to have the filler dissolved.  It looks to me from the photos that you might be able to correct some of the issue with another syringe - Volbella does come in a small syringe and also can be injected in most other areas of the face, so none is wasted.  Hopefully your dermatologist can help you sort it out, and in the end, the hyaluronic acid fillers are pretty forgiving and do become metabolized eventually, so another option is just waiting.  Good luck!

Dear Liz,
Lip filler injection is an art and there are many ways to correct mistakes by either adding filler or subtracting filler (with hyaluronidase). It depends on the artistic eyes and abilities of the injector and of course experience. Anything can be done in the right hands. Typically it should be done right the first time, but minor corrections can be necessary depending on the experience of the injector.
Best,

Hello and thanks for your question. Yes more can be added or the filler can be dissolved. Re:costs this is very much up to the discretion of the clinical you visit. Always seek a qualified and experienced practitioner, best wishes
