Praying This is Not Permanent!

Ugh, I wish I'd checked RealSelf before I had this treatment!

40yo female, non smoker, non drinker, fit, healthy, good skin and complexion..

I decided to have my lip filler dissolved, I didn't hate it, but I felt like I'd like a more subtle enhancement, the Russian technique that is more popular at the moment. I know a lot of girls that have had their filler dissolved and I've never heard of any complaints or side effects so I asked my provider to dissolve my filler so that I might start over in a few months time..

You guy's I'm soo upset with how my face looks at the moment, my face is drooping, I have definitely lost tissue, there are HUGE dents in my upper lip area and chin. I look like a 90 year old woman, that has smoked 40 cigarettes a day! I look like my mother's mother!

I'm so, so worried that my face is going to stay like this permanently, or worse still, deteriorate even further. I wish I had looked on here first as I never would have had the procedure done had I known there were associated risks. I loved my face before truth be told, now I can't stand to look in the mirror.

I'll update here in a few weeks. Pray for me please.

My camera is terrible as it has a built-in softening effect that can't be turned off, just adding this photo to demonstrate this permanent hole that has been left above my lip, explained by surgeons as the "buttonhole effect" created by damage to the smas layer. This damage is a lot more obvious in person sadly.
