I’ve had lip fillers a couple of times (volbella). Each time I develop lumps after a few weeks and have had to have them dissolved. I’m wondering if there’s another product I might be able to use that will work but not become lumpy, or if this is just how my body reacts to fillers :( If not, what else can I do to help my smokers lines and sagging lips?

Answer: Lip augmentation Dear Belli612, I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for a more long lasting result, I recommend fat grafting. That is, using your own bodies fat to make your lips naturally look more shapely. The bonus is that the results last many many years. In general, I avoid using permanent prosthesis because I find that the lips are such dynamic and sensitive structures, the end result is not natural.

Answer: There are other products After trying multiple fillers we found that Restylane Kysse is a great filler that does not cause lumpiness if injected correctly in the lines above the lip.
