Is lip plumping gloss a safe alternative to filler for someone recovering?

Realgrl30Dec 22, 2022
18 months ago, I developed POTS and daily migraine headaches. Since it started 24 hours after receiving a vaccine, it's believed this was an immune response but my autoimmune tests are negative and my inflammatory levels are normal. For two months, I've been feeling nearly normal. I've been having lip injections for over ten years, but my injector would like my doctor's approval. In the meantime, I'm wondering if a plumping lip gloss is generally a safe alternative.

It may help to do a massage a few times a day for two weeks. It just appears that the placement from two different injectors and two different products is noticeable. Perhaps a visit to your plastic surgeon and maybe they can take a bit out and re distribute. Best of luck!
