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?

In properly selected patients, Radiesse works nicely for the jawline to create definition and a nice contour. The amount of syringes needed really depends on the patient and the results desired.

Thank you for your question. Radiesse is not a good filler for the fine lines around the mouth. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm are better for this area. Also, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if you are unhappy with the results, whereas Radiesse cannot. I ...
