5 years ago a board certified plastic surgeon injected Juvederm 3 filler to my upper lip. After 2 weeks I had symptoms like fever,blisters in my gums and lips.A treatment with steroids and antibiotics wasn’t effective and according to the biopsy I developed oral EM.I’m treating the symptoms with homeopathy and I’m doing quite well the last 6 months (I had flare ups every month beforehand).).I want to enhance my upper lip but I feel that fillers are risky.What are the options to get bigger lips?
