Filler migration is very common and often found in the lips! Treatment is a quick and comfortable procedure. We use hylenex which is an enzyme mixed with lidocaine to dissolve the filler. We require at least 2 weeks (we suggest 4 weeks) before you are able to re-fill your lips.
Red Flags to Watch Out For
- An upper or lower lip that looks rolled which can make the borders of the lips lack definition and this can be present to both the upper and lower lip
- Puffiness above your upper lip near the vermillion border which some describe as looking “like a shelf” or looking “ducky.” It will sometimes cast a shadow to this area to which some say can make you look like you have a subtle mustache.
- The most obvious sign that you have overfilled lips is the look of induration/hardness. Induration- means a localized hardening of the soft tissues where the area becomes firm and this is why lips are often described as rubbery looking or sausage-like, because sausages look very firm, like you could stick a needle in it and it will pop.
if you see any of these red flags with your lips, contact us to make an appointment as soon as possible.
