I, 31 (F) got lip filers from 2017-2021, I can’t say how many I got but I believe it was all Juvaderm. I got them dissolved (1 syringe) in 2021 because I had a lump in my inner lip. The pain was pretty bad but at least it was gone. Recently, I thought about getting more filler but wanted to know if I needed to dissolve more? I don’t feel that I do, but it was recommended I do because I have filler migration (I don’t see it) and that filler moves to the migration if more is added.
