Help. Lines around my mouth after lip filler

Question

After having lip filler, its created more predominant lines on the right side of my face. Truly at a loss. Depressed about the way it looks.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The lip fillers will eventually absorb.  However, what I recommend for you in the future is a lip lift done in such a way that extra skin is taken laterally and not centrally.  This will pull up the corners of the mouth which will correct the downward corners of the lips that give you a frowning appearance.  This can also improve the nasolabial folds.  At the time of the lip lift, you may want to put in some fat in the nasolabial folds as well.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Having your lips enhanced with a filler has absolutely nothing to do with your nasolabial folds. The folds are different in every single individual as compared right to the left side. If you’re not happy with the way it looks, I would have a filler placed in there as well. You should also have a look at your pre-procedural photographs. I hope this helps. Good luck from Leonard Grossman MD, New York City, plastic surgery.

Let the fillers dissipate and you should be back to baseline.Including baseline pictures, and a timeframe of when the treatment was done would be helpful.
The good thing about fillers is The same thing people complain about, that they don’t last.
Best,
