When permanent filler is involved, the fix isn't as simple as dissolving it.
This patient came to us after noticing her lips had changed shape and increased in volume over time. On evaluation, we found permanent filler had been injected, the kind that doesn't respond to the dissolving agents we normally use for temporary fillers.
The only path back to a natural contour was surgical removal. We performed a lip reduction procedure to remove the permanent material and restore proportion.
Our patient also lived out of town, so we kept her care going through virtual follow-ups, checking in on healing and progress every step of the way. Distance doesn't change our commitment to seeing a patient's journey all the through.
If you're unsure what was placed in your lips or you're unhappy with how they've changed over time, that's exactly the kind of concern worth bringing to a consultation. Comment "BOOK" to schedule a consultation.
