So a while ago I went and got really bad lip fillers. My injector now told me that it’s basically so deep in my lips it doesn’t really dissolve so instead of going in she goes around (if that makes sense). Now I have a goal in mind- and was wondering if it’s possible to inject more to get to this goal or just overall? Like is just shape that’s impossible to get?
Answer: Hyaluronidase Hi @Considerate148650. Hyaluronic acid facial filler products that were previously injected into an improper tissue plane can be dissolved by hyaluronidase injections. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Lip Augmentation There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one incision at the red/white upper lip junction (gull wing) or two separate incision at the corners, or a combination, depending on your desired look and anatomy. My preferred surgical technique is called the Elelyft, which is a version of the bullhorn approach. In your situation, as long as hyaluronic acid was used then it should be dissolvable. There is a limit to what can be achieved given a persons' starting anatomy. Consult with an experienced lip surgeon for a complete range of options that are appropriate for your situation.

Answer: Lip augmentation Dear Considerate148650, I typically use Juvederm for my lip sculpting. There are two main focuses of lip injections, adding volume and actually sculpting the shape. Both involve injecting the filler in different areas of the lips and patterns. I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections.Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months.

Answer: Lip filler It appears from the picture that your bottom lip has filler into the actual cutaneous portion of the lip rather than being confined to the vermilion (red lip). I am confused why this cannot be dissolved. If this was an HA filler, it should be able to be dissolved. If it is a more permanent filler then there no dissolving capability. If it cannot be dissolved, one option is to attempt surgical excision. I think that in order to get the look they you are trying to achieve, you will first need to remove the misplaced filler
