How to correct botched lips? (Photo)

Many injectors have no idea of how to use enzyme. Since your treatment is old, you may need a higher dose of enzyme and more than one round of treatment. Once the material is removed, you need a natural service that avoids lumps and over fill. At the end of the day, you want a service that does not look like a service. You do not need a lip lift to fix this.

I recommend a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

You can continue to let the current filler dissolve or you can have hyaluronidase injected to dissolve it. To improve future results it is important to find an expert injector. Review before/after photos and discuss what you want in terms or results and your concerns.

There are a few options available to you. You can try doing a forceful massage on your lips and see if it helps in anyway at all. You can also wait it out until the filler is completely dissolved and lastly, you can go to someone for a treatment using hyaluronidase in order to dissolve the filler. Ultimately, the choice is up to you. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery

If the issue is related to poorly placed filler, then you can either have the filler dissolved or you can wait for it to dissipate on its own.
The use of fillers can leave permanent changes, including residual volume especially after multiple treatments. The residual volume or permanent changes are not related to residual product. We don’t know the true mechanism but most likely it’s due to repeat, micro, trauma, causing inflammation and scar tissue development.
Some people will have permanent irregularities.
This is much more common in those who have repeat fillers multiple times especially if the treatments were not done well.
Overall, it is relatively unusual and relatively subtle.
Most of the volume represents filler and most of it in your case is probably related to how the filler was injected.
Do you work with the same provider every time? Finding someone who is mastered this type of work is not easier or straightforward.
Once you do, you should stay with that provider unless they turn out to be doing work you’re not pleased with it.
Some providers do lip, fillers, better than others.
There are potential long-term consequences to having fillers.
Take that into consideration when having these treatments.
