Does migrated lip filler ever go away? (Photo)

Your lips look very natural. If 3 doctors told you there is nothing there, maybe it is best you find photos of your lips before the filler was injected and compare. To really know if the filler is present there or not, you can try and find a clinic who will offer ultrasound to confirm filler placement, maybe then they will dissolve it. Good news, With time filler will go away but how long no one really knows.
Good luck.

Filler will slowly absorb. Exercising a lot can increase the removal faster so start running or go to the gym daily.

The longevity of the filler will depend on the filler used. Typically HA fillers will last 6-12 months in the lips, so you should have improvement as time goes on. You can also consider having it dissolved with hyaluronidase if it is bothersome.

If you're experiencing lip filler migration, where the filler has moved from its original placement, it's essential to consult with a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. They can assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate treatment plan. Here are some common approaches to address lip filler migration:
Hyaluronidase Treatment:
Description: Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that can be injected to dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers.How it Works: It breaks down the hyaluronic acid molecules, allowing the filler to be metabolized and absorbed by the body.Considerations: This treatment is often effective in correcting filler migration but should be performed by a skilled injector.
Massage and Manipulation:
Description: Manual manipulation of the affected area by a healthcare professional.How it Works: Gentle massaging or molding can help redistribute the filler to a more desired position.Considerations: This approach is typically used for minor adjustments.
Wait for Natural Dissipation:
Description: Allow the filler to naturally dissipate over time.How it Works: Hyaluronic acid fillers are not permanent and will gradually be absorbed by the body.Considerations: This option is suitable for cases where the migration is minor, and the patient can tolerate waiting for the filler to naturally diminish.Prevention in Future Treatments:
Description: Take preventive measures during future treatments.How it Works: Work closely with your injector to ensure precise placement and consider using less mobile fillers in the future.Considerations: Discuss your concerns with your injector before future treatments to minimize the risk of migration.

Without having reference pictures before having had fillers, it’s hard to make an assessment. I agree with the previous providers that at this point, it makes no sense to try to reverse the filler. I don’t believe it filler migrate. I believe that is a concept used by individuals, unwilling to be honest about less than ideal outcomes.
Personally, I think your lips look fine, but without knowing what they used to look like it’s hard to make an assessment.
