Can expressions like crying and laughing cause lip filler migration in the first few days?

Exquisite134686Aug 21, 2022
Hi, I’m curious to know if pressure in the lips from smiling, laughing, crying/sobbing, etc in the first few days after getting the procedure can push/move lip filler at all, especially into unwanted areas like the philtrum or elsewhere around the lips? Is there a point where the filler completely sets in place or is migration always a possibility? Migration is one of my biggest fears. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your lips are extremely overfilled and I would advise not to add anything else. When lips are overfilled like that, it can cut off the blood supply and result in dead tissue. Once that tissue is damaged, it has to be removed and there is no going back from that. You can already see those tiny...
