Should I dissolve my filler? (Photo)

Question

2 weeks ago I had .5 ml of a filler called lips injected. I've been to my provider (An RN who's been in peace's for 18 yrs) who said all looked fine. To me it looks as if it's migrated or shelved and I'm left with the appearance of a mustache from the shadow. Is this poor filling technique or am I just not the right candidate for lip filler? Should I get it dissolved? Even after 2 weeks I can still feel the filler and the occasional itching as well. Thanks for the help!

Hi @Ellajane501! This does appear to be filler migration. I recommend dissolving your lips and starting with a fresh canvas. I also suggest using a different filler. I hope this was helpful!

Dear Ellajane,
Yes, get it dissolved.  The filler was either misplaced, migrated or both.  Dissolve it, let things settle out, then you can try again.  Good luck!

Your photos show the injection roll of the upper lip. Usually after 30 days this might subside, but if you are so unhappy then have HA dissolver injected asap. Expect fee $500.
