I got lip injections and a lip flip for the 3rd time. This time is different I used a Juvederm Ultra instead of Vollure which was used previously. 1st time was 2 weeks ago, I went back 1 week ago due to seeing the issue a few days after injecting. She added more filler and to the lip flip. It is the 2nd week today from initial appt. It is either the same result or even potentially more noticeable. Especially when I smile, it's crooked!

Answer: Why is my upper lip curling inwards in one corner after Juvederm Ultra and even a lip flip? (Photo)
Yes its important to let your injector know about this immediately - If there is a serious eye complication they should have a protocol in place with this to minimise any problems, but treatment needs to be done rapidly if required.
There are various reasons why lip fillers will vary in longevity. A degree of this will be due to the type and quantity of filler used to treat the lip, but there will also be a degree of variance due to the patient specific factors. I would recommend speaking to your injector to discuss...
This does not sound like lumps of filler that can be dissolved. Rather it sounds like you are having a reaction to the filler. Many times small amounts of injected steroid can improve these. Please return to whomever did your treatment for advice.
