DID YOUR LIP FILLER GO WRONG?

Your ideal pout was a subtly enhanced appearance that would give you more self-confidence. Rather, you’re looking at lumps that stand out, uneven swelling, or the dreaded “duck lip” appearance due to filler migration.

The Dream vs The Reality

Many people are afraid of this situation, and regrettably, it does occur. You are not alone if you are currently coping with issues from lip fillers. Sometimes the path to the ideal pout takes a surprising detour. However, the first step in fixing it is realizing what went wrong. We are aware of the concerns people have about lip fillers. We have witnessed the worries, resolved the issues, and assisted innumerable customers in obtaining the stunning, natural outcomes they had originally envisioned. To make sure you feel knowledgeable and in control, let’s explore the prevalent problems, their causes, and solutions.

Your Lips Are in Safe Hands at Nalani Aesthetics

We are dedicated to providing safe, effective, and natural-looking lip filler treatments. If you’re dealing with complications from previous fillers, or if you’re considering lip fillers for the first time, we’re here to help.

But first, what are lip fillers?

Lip fillers are injectable procedures that give the lips more symmetry, volume, and definition. The most popular kind of filler is hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring chemical that aids in the body’s ability to maintain moisture and plumpness. Because HA is a sugar molecule that the body naturally produces, it is harmless and dissolves gradually over time. This makes them safe and effective for most individuals.

Knowing The Typical Side Effects of Lip Fillers

Even while lip fillers are usually safe, problems can occasionally arise. For timely intervention, it is essential to identify these problems.

Filler Migration: This happens when the filler migrates to the surrounding tissues from the desired location. Often referred to as “duck lips” or a “shelf” above the upper lip, it can result in an unnatural appearance.
Lumps and Bumps: These can arise from uneven filler distribution, superficial injections, or the body’s inflammatory response.
Asymmetry: Asymmetry may arise from an uneven distribution of volume between the left and right sides or between the upper and lower lips.
Excessive Bruising and Swelling: While some bruising and swelling is typical, excessive or protracted symptoms may be cause for concern.
Tyndall Effect: is a bluish tint that appears beneath the skin and is brought on by the superficial application of hyaluronic acid fillers.
Granulomas: Inflammatory nodules that can develop around the filler, these are uncommon but dangerous.

Following treatment, filler lumps may form gradually or right away. The primary contributing factors are inadequate injection techniques and a lack of anatomical expertise. Filler might cause tiny lumps if it is applied too superficially.

Why Does This Happen?

Common causes include:

Bad Product Selection: Lumpiness and hard nodules may result from using the incorrect kind or quantity of filler for the person’s lip structure.
Inadequate Pre-Treatment Assessment: Ignoring the client’s intended result and facial shape.
Neglecting aftercare guidelines: such as avoiding too much heat or pressure, is known as post-treatment neglect.
Individual Reactions: Depending on how their bodies react to the filler, certain people may be more vulnerable to problems.
Bruising and swelling: Although the initial swelling may resemble lumps, it should go away in a week.
Filler buildup over time: Uneven texture may result from applying too much filler at once before letting earlier treatments completely set.

Minor bumps can often be smoothed out with a light massage. But dissolution might be required if they continue for more than two weeks.

When Should You Consider Dissolving Your Lip Filler?

The best course of action may be to dissolve the filler if you’re going through any of the following:

Severe Migration (Beyond the Natural Lip Line): When the filler has moved a lot and is making the lips look artificial.
Persistent Lumps or Granulomas: When lumps or granulomas do not go away or get better after two weeks of conservative treatment.
Significant Asymmetry: When the lips are distinctly unequal and cannot be made even with further filler.
Tyndall Effect: If there is a noticeable and uncomfortable bluish hue.
Personal Dissatisfaction: If you want to go back to your natural lips because you are just not happy with the outcome.
Prolonged bruising or excessive edema: if you experience prolonged pain and discomfort.
