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

Question

I had Volbella injected several weeks ago. I didn’t notice they were uneven, until I put on lipstick. I thought maybe there was swelling, so I waited another 2 weeks to see if they would even out (it has now been a month and a half). I have an appt today with the injector. I’m concerned about the process and how this would be fixed. Is more filler added? And if so, is that usually at the cost of the customer if the results are uneven like this? Is it better to have the filler dissolved?

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

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!
