I got Juvederm in my lips 2 days ago. I've tried Restylane before, but got nothing from it. I was considering a fat transfer but decided to try fillers again first, considering my face will change over the years. For years I've been conpulsively biting off the skin on the inside of my cheeks and lips. I bite my lips mostly on the inside but the skin can come off all the way to the outside too. Could it affect my filler to leak, dissolve or move? If yes, is it safe after the swelling has passed?
