Fillers in my lips are only lasting 2-3 weeks. Need help!

Filler lasting 2-3 weeks
Jul 7, 2015

It’s very unusual to have the filler completely metabolize in that short period of time. Either most of your results are from swelling (not the actual filler) or you are breaking down the hyaluronic acid faster than normal- which would be unlikely but possible. It’s important to see exactly how much filler is being injected, and where under the skin it’s being placed. If the filler is placed too deep under the skin, the results will be lost.

Why am I having an excruciating headache for the last 7 days immediately after Botox injections?

Headache after Botox

Pimple scar

It’s incredibly important to keep your hands and fingers off pimples and blemishes! The more you squeeze the higher the chance of scarring. The best thing to do at this point is to keep the area clean- and to see your dermatologist. They might find you a candidate for a cortisone injection to decrease the size and inflammation. The redness will take time to fade- so put sunscreen on every day to help it along.. And remember: no picking!

Fillers can be used in various parts of the face- and you should speak to your dermatologist about what exactly tore trying to fix in your lower face.

Although you may have some downtime after search session, I think you’ll be quite happy with the end results. Good luck!
