I got lip fillers and am curious to know if this weird outline around my top lip is normal? (Photos)

Question

I have like an outline around my lips after I got them filled. It’s been 2 days since I got it done. Is it going to be like this the whole 6 months?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can ast 1-2 weeks after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi,Depending on the product used and the injection technique, that outline may persist for some time. It is likely that the filler migrated out of the red body of the lip and into the white vermillion. Follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns.Best,

You had a bit too much filler placed in your lateral vermilion border.  A small amount of hyaluronidase injected there should bring that fullness down.

Anthony Buglino, DO · Answer

It appears that the outline is a accentuated vermillion border ( demarcation between lip and adjacent skin). I always ask patients prior to filler placement to describe their desired result and even provide similar photos of lips they desire. Some patients like that vermillion accentuation as a lip liner enhancement. Each patients preference is different. If filler was place within 48 hours, manipulation/ massage may be able to reduce that effect. If not, hyaluronidase will be able to dissolve the filler.
