Lip filler is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a gel-like substance into your lips to add temporary fullness or aid in hydration. And as the name suggests, lip filler migration occurs when filler moves to a different location from where it was intended, post-injection.

Lip filler can be a fantastic way to enhance volume, shape, and hydration in the lips. But sometimes, things don’t go exactly as planned. One of the most common concerns?

Filler migration.

Lip filler migration happens when the filler shifts from its intended location, often creating a puffy or uneven appearance above the lip line. While this isn’t uncommon, it can be frustrating, especially if you’re no longer happy with the look.

If you’ve noticed changes in your lip filler or feel like it’s migrated, the good news is: You don’t have to live with it.

Dissolving filler is a safe and effective option to restore your natural look and start fresh if needed. The dissolving process involves using an enzyme that breaks down the filler.

However, it’s important to know:

Multiple sessions may be necessary, depending on how much filler is present and how your body responds.
In some cases, we may only be able to dissolve part of the filler—it all depends on your individual situation.

If you've experienced lip filler migration and don't like the way it looks, don't hesitate to book an appointment to have your filler dissolved.

Dissolving is a process and multiple sessions may be necessary. Sometimes we may be able to dissolve some, not all the filler, but it’s dependent on each individual and what is happening.

As with any cosmetic treatment, it’s all about what feels best for you. If you’ve invested in filler but no longer love the look, it’s okay to kiss it goodbye.
