Could this be scar tissue or residual filler?

BbmmvvaaFeb 6, 2019
I've had 2.5 mls of Juvederm injected in my lips over a two year period in the form of three separate injections. The second time round, my top lop was super lumpy and bulbous but I waited it out until it dissolved somewhat and got it corrected. However, it's been a year since the correction and the lumpiness and bulbosity is still there and the shape is very similar. I was informed today by the injector that it feels like tissue. How can I fix this as it is very unnatural looking?

Yes, it is safe to use the same syringe on the same patient to inject two different locations. Be sure to discuss your treatment goals with your injector. One half syringe of filler for the lips will be a conservative amount.

Many things can effect the subtle differences over time including age, weight loss or gain, environmental factors, etc. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector so that adjustments can be made to help you achieve the results you are wanting.

When scheduling future filler treatments it is a good idea to begin a prescription beforehand of Valtrex, or similar medication, as a preventative for cold sores. I recommend contacting your injector for an evaluation.
