Can you change the shape of your fillers if you massage them hard? (Photos)

Question

I went to few doctors and they said to massage my lips after ... last time I did but I don't know if I have the same shape I think I change it with massage ... so should I dissolve my lower lip ?

Hi Marie,My recommendation to you is to follow your doctor's advice.  I usually say not to massage after fillet placement and allow the product to settle where I've placed it.  With that said,  there have been times that I instructed my parishes to massage a certain area after injections.   It really varies and it needs to be evaluated case by case.   In general you'll see the filler settle into place by 10-14 days and I would say don't massage unless you've been specifically instructed to do so.  Hope this helps!

I'm not sure how long it has been since your lip filler treatment or what lip filler was used, however, your lips still appear swollen and there appears to be some bruising. I would give the lips 10-14 days to settle down and if at that point you are unhappy with your results, I would followup with your injector. Gentle massage after lip filler treatment can soften minor lumps or irregularity.
