Has my lip dropped down my face due to fillers? (photos)

GermanGirl88Jul 7, 2015

About 2 weeks ago, I got some injections (Radiesse) into my lips, nasolabial folds and into the horizontal crease I've had between my nose and the upper lip. However, I noticed that the distance between my lip and my nose has increased. I've had my lips and nasolabial folds done multiple times, but never had such a terrible look. My big smile has disappeared. Plus, I don't think my upper lip looks fuller, but wide & more narrow. Should I get the fillers removed? If yes, how / which ones first?

Radiesse is deep in the skin or on bone and will not be affected by tanning in any way.  Good luck! Dr. Emer.
