How can I get rid of this dark discoloration around my lips and on my lips? (photos)

Asked By:AMM_1017 in Philippines, PH

It started getting dark last year and it's itchy sometimes. When I'm sick it gets very itchy and becomes a lot darker then before and it is growing. But I don't scratch it, I just endure the itchiness.

I have narrow upper lip. I want outer sides hidden in my mouth outside and make wider upper lip. Any suggestion?
Michele S. Green, MD says:

I often augment and re-shape the lips in just this way.  This is an advanced technique and it is very important to consult a specialist in facial injections.  Best, Dr. Green

Is it normal that one side of my lips is harder than the rest after lips filler? (Photo)
Michele S. Green, MD says:

It sounds as if there may have been too much product injected in one side. I would wait a few weeks to see if this might just be swelling.  If after two weeks you still feel the same way you should return to your treating physician for Vitrase to dissolve it.  Best, Dr. Green

Lip fillers only last one month. Any suggestions?
Michele S. Green, MD says:

It is possible that you need more filler in your lips to keep the desired effect.  I suggest layering of product with Restylane and Juvederm for longevity.  Please take photos to compare the results. Best, Dr. Green
