I’ve had fat transfer to my lips, with an additional .5 of filler by the same surgeon who did the transfer. I always had a “shelf” looking upper lip even prior to fat transfer. My question is, is my lips migrated? And what are my options if I don’t want to use dissolver?
Answer: Migrated filler Based on the photos you provided, your lip filler does not look migrated. I recommend you going back to your surgeon and discussing your concerns to achieve the goals you want for your lips.

Answer: Fillers, migrating, and concern regarding outcome. In my experience of injecting, fillers for close to 25 years, I’ve never experienced fillers migrating. I don’t believe that fillers ever migrate and the term is used as a poor excuse for badly done work. I don’t see any inherent problem with your lips. Perhaps they’re a little over treated but that should settle down with time. It would be helpful to understand how long ago you had fat transfer. It’s going to be pretty difficult to differentiate the results of the fat transfer if you simultaneously have fillers, injected. I see no reason to dissolve your fillers. They should simply reduce on their own. For most patients lip fillers last about six months which means that have the product has gone in three months. I suggest being patient and waiting it out. If you have concerns about the outcome, it would be pretty important to communicate what you don’t like about the results. Best, Matt Hagstrom, MD
