I had a cyst removed from my inner lip (i.e. the side inside of my mouth if that makes sense) about 5 years ago. I am booked in to get Juvederm lip fillers next week but forgot to mention this scar tissue to the nurse upon booking. Am I still able to get the fillers or does scar tissue affect the outcome?

Thank you for your inquiry. Looks like she may have received 2 - 3 syringes minimum and it was done over time. This amount would vary according to type of product that was used.
Fillers gradually disappear and last longer both based on product and anatomic location injected. Restylane typically lasts 6 months or more and Juvederm typically lasts 9 months or more. Botox lasts approximately four months. Best, Dr. Green
