Kissed 6 weeks after lip filler - could this have dissolved my filler?

Question

I had .8 restylane refyne in November 16, 2022 and wanted more fullness so my my doctor put restylane kysse on Dec 16, 2022 about 6 weeks ago. I went out on a date and this guy was making out with me and kissed me a few times and now I'm worried he made my filler dissolve. Is that possible?

Kissing will not cause lip filler to dissolve.  Usually there is initial swelling after lip filler that subsides and gives the appearance of the filler having dissolved, but this is minimal and the filler that was placed is still there.

Hi @Original583209! The chances of lip filler dissolving after getting kissed is not very common. I hope this was helpful!

Thank you for sharing your question. The movement of lips over time gradually causes the fillers to dissipate, not suddenly. So, It is okay to resume your normal activities. 
Good luck,

Thank you for sharing your question. After six weeks since treatment it is unlikely that kissing impacted your results or their longevity. Hope this helps.

Kissing six weeks after your lip filler will not cause your filler to dissolve.  It should have no impact on your results.  If you are wanting more volume you can return to your injector for a touch up.
