What can be done to fix my top lip? I just want to feel confident smiling again.
You can have your lip filler dissolve and start over
Apr 2, 2021
I am sorry to hear that you got such a bad experience with your last lip augmentation treatment and didn’t get the results you were expecting; the good news is that you already know the excellent results you can accomplish with this treatment. With Hyaluronidase, you can get all the fillers dissolved and start over; with this product, all the dents and bumps will disappear. Make sure that next time you make an appointment with a Board Certified Doctor with experience in lip enhancement t…
How can I fix my smile as one side of the smile shows more teeth than the other?
Placing dermal fillers with the proper technique will give you the symmetry you are looking for
Apr 2, 2021
When you smile, there is undoubtedly an asymmetry in the shape of your upper lip; this happens because your muscles could be stronger on one side of your face. Treat this with Botox may also affect other muscles of your face and created even more asymmetry or results that are not the ones that you are looking for; that´s why my advice for you is to treat this asymmetry by adding a little bit of filler on your upper lip to make it look fuller when you smile. By placing the filler with a …
One side of lip is plumper than the other. It’s only slight but I see it. My Dr. said to wait,
You just need lip filler added to correct the area.
Apr 2, 2021
After five weeks, the swelling and bruises are entirely gone, so this is the final result in which you can see that there is a slight asymmetry on the upper lip which can be easily treated by adding a little bit more filler in that area so the lack of volume can be fulfilled and make both sides more symmetrical or dissolving all the filler and start all over again. My advice for you is to make a follow-up appointment with your injector to solve this issue. Bruise and swelling could are…
Why do my lip fillers wear off in a month? 3 syringes in 6 mos and they look the same! Dr. said
Try modifying the volume and brand used for your lip injections
Apr 2, 2021
The effect of good brands fillers made of Hyaluronic acid tend to last 6 to 12 months; in your case, the volume in your lips looks fine, but you don´t show us the before and after photos of previous treatments and the baseline pictures to help you a little bit more. What I think is happening is that the effect of the swelling is the one that you like the most, that after a few days or weeks is entirely off, and you see how your lips look smaller. Change the brand of your Hyaluronic acid and …
Can you go to the dentist a few days before lip filler and use teeth whitening kits with filler
It is safe to go to the dentist before your lip filler appointment
Apr 2, 2021
The main answer to your question is yes; you can go to the dentist before your doctor’s appointment for lip augmentation. When it comes to teeth whitening kits, you may wait 2 or 3 days after the filler treatment because you need the swelling to reduce and the fillers set up in your skin. The whitening procedure won’t affect the dermal filler placement, but the area’s manipulation after having lip filler can be avoided for a few days. Ask your doctor for further information and about your…

Apr 2, 2021
