Will lip lines around corners of mouth from fillers go away on their own? (photos)

Question

I have been getting lip injections for a couple years now, and in the last round (about a month or two ago) for the first time I got these lines around the coroners of my top lip (see photo). I think I got them because I got more in my top lip than usual. I know you can get filler in them, but I'm wondering if they will go away on their own over time as my top lip starts to dissolve?

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.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and photograph.  Yes this filler will slowly dissipate with time, restoring your previous lip appearance.  Hope this helps.

There are three things that you can do. Number one, you can have the filler in the lips dissolved so it stops pushing on the cheek and forming the fold. Number two option is to have the fold filled out with a filler. Number three option is to simply wait it out, but by then a permanent wrinkle may be formed. Good luck from New York City

The lines you are referring to will soften over time as your body will breakdown the dermal filler. Hyaluronidase may also be used to dissolve some of the upper lip filler causing those lines. I recommend following up with your injector. All the best, Dr Michon

Hello newgirl,
The area will smooth out on its own as the body breaks down the product. If you are unhappy you can have your provider inject hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler, a small amount would be needed to smooth the product that is causing the line without effecting the product in your lips. 
Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Based on your description, the swelling should continue to subside as the filler continues to settle. However,  if you are still unhappy with your results it would be best to contact your provider. Best of luck!
