Lip filler has migrated 3 times… is it possible that my lips just don’t tolerate it?

Is it possible for someone to just not be able to tolerate lip filler no matter what product or technique is used?I have had my lips filled multiple times and the top lip has migrated every time. I have seen three different nurse practitioners, all qualified. The first time they were done using restylane Kysse. It migrated so I had the filler dissolved by a different NP. She re-filled them. Migrated again. I had the top lip dissolved and a third NP used Juvaderm. Top lip migrated again.

Hi Sophie You can use a small amount of HA filler in the corners of the mouth that will increase the volume here and that can be subtle enough to reduce the show of teeth at this level. This would be the easiest non surgical way of addressing your concern. I hope that is of some help to...

Hi Wepner1! Good news--you are still able to get lip filler while on MTX for RA! There should not be any side effects combining the two. Best of luck to you!
