Lip filler (Juvederm) let it wear off naturally or will this take ages? Or dissolve? Not sure what's best to do? (Photo)

Hyaluronidase can be used to reverse and dissolve the previous fillers. After the fillers are completely dissolved, an expert injector can apply new fillers to the area to obtain your desired shape and volume.   Best, Dr. Emer.

I would do the same thing. I would make it dissolve and start from scratch for best results. I understand that his may be upsetting to you, but if you want perfect lip, then it is worth the hustle. Dissolving product will make it go away faster, if you wait for it to dissolve naturally then it may take up to a year. Good luck!

Depending on the severity of the bumps, it may be better to dissolve and begin treatment new.  It can be challenging to try to even out the lips if there are several bumps involved.  If you trust this new injector, it is best to follow her advice.  If you would like to wait for the product to dissolve naturally, it will be approximately 9-12 months from treatment.

If the bumps are severe then I agree with your physician to have them dissolved first.  It is very difficult to correct bad fillers and often advisable to have them dissolved completely first before re-injection.  Best, Dr. Green

I think it is best to start over from scratch. It is very hard to correct over bumps and asymmetry. It works if done soon after the problem was created but hard if it is long standing. I go with dissolving the poorly placed filler with hyaluronidase. It might take more than one treatment with it to get back to the original lip. Often, there will be some collagen which has formed in response to the filler and that will have to be worked around.

It is a tough call. It is up to you to decide what you feel comfortable with.  If you do not like the advice she is offering, then I suggest going to another doctor to be injected.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear you aren't pleased with your lip injections. If you have lumps and bumps, but already feel like you have enough (or even too much) volume, then your new injector is correct: you should dissolve the product and start from scratch. Or, you can place a little of the hyaluronidase (the product that dissolves the filler), and see how things look after that. Or, you can simply wait and see how things go - since it sounds like you've had filler before, you should know about how long it last in you. On average, in the lips, it'll last around 6-9 months. Best of luck! 

Based on just the one photo you submitted and not being able to see both lips from the front, you seem to have a reasonable appearance of your lips and it is a good decision for your current doctor to not inject the upper lip.  Remember that the lower lip should always be bigger/fuller than the upper lip.  Lips look "done" when the upper lip is bigger than the lower either because only the upper lip was filled or more material was injected in the upper lip than the lower.  Your doctor is making a good decision to "start over".  Juvederm can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase injections fairly quickly so you can start over.  You should take her advice.
