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

Question

I recently changed to a new lady for my lips as I wasn't happy with my lip shape from what a previous lady had done. When I went today to see her she advised me that she wouldn't do my top lip only dissolve it and re do. The previous lady has left me with bumps & migration in top lip (it curls up) and filler higher than my lip line. The new lady I have been to is great but she wants to completely start again as doesn't want people to think it's her bad work. I had half a ml but in my bottom lip.

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.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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!

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
