Hello, are there side effects if I continue to receive lip filler every 12-15 months? I would like to have 1 or 2, 1ml syringes of Volbella. I want my thin lips to look natural and not overfilled. But I'm concerned with repeatedly having my lips filled over the years, that it would enlarge or expand the lip tissue. Can the amount of fillers I have injected permanently stretch the skin and cause the lips to sag and deflate when the filler degrades? Thank you

If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
They are going too deep when they inject. The vessel is about 1mm below the surface in everyone, it's not just you. It's good that they recognized their comfort level, but this is an issue that comes up more and more with the ability of really anyone to do fillers. One of the things you can do...
If you desire more fullness in your lips, then you should definitely have it done. One syringe will be more than plenty for your type of lips. Make sure you go to a plastic surgeon who has a good reputation in lip augmentation. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
