Help please! started with small amounts of filler, unsure of how it would look, but kept returning for a little more. The last time, I was happy with the results and requested more than usual but that same day I took no precautions (drank, partied, spent the day in the sun at a festival, kissed). I know it was a bad idea, but I hadnt experienced swelling before, so I got overconfident. The next day, my lips were EXTREMELY swollen. I had to wait for it to subside before my doctor could dissolve some of the filler. After partial dissolution, I was happy with the results (1st photo) and chose to let the rest dissolve naturally. Note: There is a small reddish area under the bottom lip (visible under makeup), caused by old damage that left a circle of broken capillaries. Fast forward five yearsthe filler was still present and migrated. The previously damaged area with broken capillaries had detached and felt like loose skin (2nd photo). Note: I also caused further damage by picking at my lips daily, leading to bleeding and possibly chronic inflammation. After multiple consultations and trying to dissolve (minor improvement), I underwent surgery with an internal incision from corner to corner of the bottom lip to remove the filler. However, filler outside the lip was left behind (3rd photo). Can a second surgery remove the migrated filler? What can help the circle of loose skin? If theres scar tissue, will steroid injection help?
Will boxing reduce the longetivity of 0.5ml lip filler in the upper lip? eg through trauma. Also how long will i have to wait for this amount and upper lip location before i can do head contact again? Thank you!
Hi iv had my lisp done a few times over the years and always been fine. About 10months ago I got a lip flip and noticed my smile wasnt the same one side droops down. I have left it thinking the Botox would wear off however Im getting married soon and cant stand how my smile looks. Im thinking now this must be filler migration as its so bad and not corrected itself. Any advise would be appreciated if I need to have them dissolved
I've had a lip lift in 2019 wich left me with a slight asymmetry. I tried to fix that with lip reduction surgery a year ago. I had semi permanent lip tattoo but the lip asymmetry is still present. Could lipfillers or kenalog injections (to reduce tissue of the scars) fix it a bit more?
I want to get lip filler but I am scared. My best friend got an infection from not cleaning hers properly after eating and drinking or brushing her teeth because the injector told her to lightly dab them with dry tissue or napkins. This led to them not being cleaned properly of debris and food and she caught a bacterial infection and is on antibiotics now. Can you show me how to properly clean my lips and what astringent I can use to keep bacteria away while healing? Is alchohol too strong to use or the witch Hazel with the blue bottle? Please give me all the tips I can use and implement because I really want to get my lips done
I have been unhappy with my lips for years because they get too thin when I smile and the upper gums are more visible on the left side of my mouth when I smile. I tried a lip flip but did not like the results because I felt it pulled my lip down over my upper teeth too much. I also can't really define my cupids bow because when I smile the middle of the bow gets pulled to the left. Is there anything to help address these concerns? I figured Botox, lip filler, or a lip lift were good places to start when looking for solutions.
I got lip filler last in February 2023. In October of 2024, I noticed on the outer corner of my bottom lip theres a hard lump. Its hardly noticeable to anyone but me, but its easy to feel. I went to the dermatologist and they said it did not look suspicious and recommended getting my lip filler dissolved. Well I got it dissolved this past week and my lips have deflated but the lump still persists. Whats my next steps?
Ive had two lip lifts and I love my current philtrum length and incisor show. I'll love my results even more if I got the look where I gently lift my lip up with my finger to make it pouty. I heard lip filler always eventually weighs the lip down and hides teeth show, but I also hear it can evert the lips if done correctly. Is this true ? And if true, will impending migration eventually weigh it down over time, even if it is everted immediately post-injection? Thanks!!
Should I choose juvederm voluma or volux if I want tons of volume In my lips? I metabolize fast and did research Im comfortable using other and I dont necessarily mind bumps because I know how to massage well I did it for my friends lips. Would juvederm volux give me more volume or is it the same as voluma just firmer feeling?
