Juvederm Ultra Plus in lips & marionette lines looks bad. Will my fillers go away completely on their own?

Question

I had 1 syrgine of both Juvederm Ultra Plus & Volbella, and it seems my flaws were emphasized. my smile looks very crooked, and area around mouth is more wrinkled & fatty looking than before. I dont want to use the Widase / chemical dissolver because of risks, I am wondering if it will completely go away if I am just patient? How long would that be? For my lip, should I get more filler on the other side to even it out first? The dip part is harder than the rest of lip, I fear its a "nodule".

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I'm sorry you're unhappy with your filler treatment.  The product will dissolve slowly over the course of about a year.  If you choose, you can have more filler injected into the lip to make it more symmetrical.  Be aware that you will have swelling for up to two weeks after injection, so the lip area may still appear asymmetric immediately after touch up.

Fillers will mostly likely be gone after 1 year. Dissolving the filler is fairly safe and I wouldn't let fear of risks stop you is you want it dissolved. I would speak to your physician or another physician regarding how to improve your appearance and what options are best for each area.  Good luck!

There are essential no risks associated with hyaluronidase. I wouldn't be afraid of it. It will take about 6 months to 1 year for the filler to dissolve completely. I use Hylenex for this, it doesn't have allergic reactions because it is recombinant human hyaluronidase. It might take a few treatments.

Fillers will dissolve completely on their own over time. You do not have to do anything.  Wide will only make it go away quicker.

John Hoover, MD · Answer

Yes the fillers are temporary and usually go away within 1 year, but yes you could absolutely have the lips evened out with more filler
