Does having lip filler make your lips more prone to sunburn? (photo)

shenaetkJan 28, 2019

Since I have had lip filler my lips always get so sunburnt. I never had this problem before. I was wondering if filler can make your lips more prone to sunburn, it tends to be my bottom lip. I constantly apply 50+ but some days it doesn’t work it gets so bad that it blisters and is painful.

Thank you for your question. The lines you are describing should go away as the swelling goes down and as the product gets broken down. If it really bothers you, you can have the product dissolved.
