Thank you for this post! I think my experience with lip filler is similar and I’ve wondered why my augmentation didn’t look as I had hoped. I had the filler after having a TMJ surgery which altered my mouth shape in the process. My teeth hit differently now. I was not thrilled with the results. I’ve had breast augmentation, dermal fillers, Botox with great results (all same Dr.) so I thought lip injections would be fairly straightforward. The lip injections looked terrible and I still have a noticeable lump and unevenness six months later. The lump has made a developing lip wrinkle even more pronounced. At least now I have an idea why my results were lumpy, and duckish (longer philtrum length). I plan to do more research on the subject. Thanks again!

Glad you found this helpful. Personally I have decided against having a lip lift after discovering that my upper lip length is no different than before braces, it is simply unsupported by the bone structure below it. When I had braces it pulled the teeth back in my face leaving the upper lip hanging unsupported by the teeth and jaw bone. It hangs down lower and rolls inwards so looks much thinner than it did before having braces. I am looking into treatment to reverse the damage braces did to both my face and my overall health (also caused breathing issues due to jaw bone changing airway structure). Good luck on your journey.

Two years later

Lip fillers 2 years later and I still have some filler above my upper lip (not very visually obvious but can be felt by hand) which was confirmed by a cosmetic injector. She refused to do further treatment until the filler is gone entirely which I’m fine with because I’m not sure if I will ever do it again anyways. My lip shape has not returned to normal entirely, the upper lip is as thin as it was originally but appears less shapely at the Cupid’s bow probably because there is still filler above this area weighing it down.
I am now looking into expansion orthodontic treatment to restore my lip support. I liked my lips before my teeth got pushed back in my face.

Too much filler above lip line.

I know I'm pulling faces in some of these but this is just to exaggerate how high above my lip the filler sits and also to show how much filler is sitting above the lip line. As it is hard to see in photos.

Looks way better since it's gone down but there is still a visible thick border/ridge above the right side of my top lip from some angles. I guess I'll just have to wait it out. I may at a later date (when it has completely dissolved) try filler again by a different injector. The space between my upper lip and nose looks better now too since it's not protruding so much so no intention on surgery any more to shorten that space.
