What is wrong with my lips after lip filler? (Photo)

Potential solution to address your concern:
1. Hyaluronidase treatment: This enzyme can dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which might allow for a "reset" of the lip area and provide an opportunity for a more even reapplication of the filler.
2. Revision with a different filler: Certain fillers may be more suitable for the patient's specific needs and could potentially offer a more balanced result.
3. Re-evaluation of injection technique: It might be beneficial to review the initial injection technique, as alternative methods might yield a more desirable outcome.

Thank you for the photos. If you have asymmetry, some carefully-placed filler to the smaller side can balance the lips out well. It's a great situation where the concerns caused by filler can actually be solved with additional filler.

It is unlikely that filler placed into the dimple will stay there. Correction of the dimple may best achieved with surgery. In person consultation with a plastic surgeon who has experience I. Cleft lip repair is recommended. Good luck.

You have two options for addressing the issue. Firstly, you can have the filler dissolved on the right side using hyaluronidase. Alternatively, you can get more filler in the left side to make the lips symmetrical. It's important to note that regular massage will not rid of the excess filler.

This response was dictated. My apologies for any potential grammatical errors.
The problem area on your upper lip is most likely a slight embryological development defect similar to what happens in individuals were born with a cleft lip or cleft palette.
In your case it didn’t develop a cleft, but most likely had incomplete fusion during that time of embryology.
The problem is not Simply a lack of volume and attempting to correct this with filler is a simplistic approach, which should not be attempted and would only be done by someone who doesn’t understand the primary problem.
I do not recommend continuing, attempting to fix that defect using fillers.
It’s probably not enough to warrant surgery and I think you’re better off just leaving things alone.
Fillers placed correctly should not need to be massaged afterwards.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of provider selection before having any Procedure.
