Experiences spot-dissolving lip filler?
I’ve gotten lip filler a few times over the past 5 years (initially was getting 0.5-1ml each time then smaller amounts) and had 0.4ml of Restalyne Defyne injected into my upper lip/lateral borders for “structure” after two years of no injections.
It’s been about 4 weeks and my upper lip/nasolabial area just looks so puffy. I have a little filler mustache at certain times/in certain lining and it fluctuates a lot depending on water retention, I guess? I’m wondering if it pushed older filler out (Juvederm) and now the entire area is puffed up.
It’s been making me really insecure and I’m seeing the PA who injected me soon, but I’m too scared to dissolve due to all of the horror stories. I know filler doesn’t really dissolve much over time and if anything, I worry about migration given how many times I’ve gotten filler… I can privately send photos if it’d be helpful.
Are there any other solutions or is spot-dissolving really not that bad? Does anyone have any advice/experience? Topical dissolver, strategic botox, gua sha, anything?
