Hi there! I filled my lips 15 months ago for the 3rd time in 5 years. It looks to me now that I have migration above my top lip. Since it’s been over a year, is it possible for filler to remain there for years? Do you think I should dissolve & start fresh? Thank you
Answer: I would counsel you that you are over filled and have an unnatural lip appearance. Less is more. If you can cope with it, yes remove all this filler and start over again. It is critical that you find a filler who understands the value of high G prime fillers for the lip. You get migration like this when runny, low G prime fillers are uses. Examples of this include Restylane Kysse, Belotero, and all of the Juvederms. These are low G prime fillers and immediately drift after placement. While you likely have more than a milliliter of filler in your lip, I think it is likely that you really do not need all that volume. I recommend Restylane for this application but it requires a skilled injector.

Answer: HA fillers can be dissolved little by little until you reach desires results Filler migration, swelling, and granulomas can cause significant discomfort and cosmetic ramifications. Our office specializes in the use of enzymes and filler reversal techniques without hyaluronidase to help improve the results of botched cosmetic fillers, whether caused by Juvederm, Restylane, or foreign fillers. Our plastic surgery institute provides expertise in filler removal. We begin by examining the facial fillers and assessing the likelihood of fluctuance or liquid volumization. If appropriate, we use Hylenex, or other filler reversal agents to reduce swelling and filler migration. Hylenex can be targeted into the areas of concern using multiple layered injection techniques. If the filler does not completely resolve, then additional concentrations may be employed. The technique has the potential to reduce the filler and may slightly impact normal hyaluronic acid. Treatments are repeated and results can improve immediately and with time.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Dissolve and refill Yes, it is possible for filler to last longer than the time it is "supposed" to. It does stimulate some production of collagen of your own, and it draws water to the area (depending on the type). Based on the photographs and your description, I would recommend dissolving and starting over fresh.
