Episode Transcript
Today is October 3rd, 2024, and we’re diving into what you can do if your lip fillers go awry.
Lip fillers are gaining immense popularity, but they come with potential pitfalls like infections, allergic reactions, and even tissue damage. Ensuring your practitioner is skilled is key to achieving those perfect, plump lips. However, if you find yourself unhappy with the results, there are steps you can take.
Dr. Rose, a renowned dermatologist from New York, has been a guiding light for her 18,300 TikTok followers. In a recent viral video, she addresses common concerns about cosmetic injection mishaps. Dr. Rose emphasizes that initial swelling and unevenness are normal. Patience is crucial during the first weeks post-procedure as lips settle into their final look.
For minor asymmetry, a simple massage might resolve the issue. In some cases, a touch of Botox can prevent filler displacement by limiting muscle movements around the lips. But remember, if problems stem from an inexperienced injector, dissolving the fillers might be your only option.
The NHS reminds us to thoroughly research before diving into any cosmetic procedure, regardless of whether it’s surgical or non-surgical. Stay informed and choose your practitioner wisely to minimize risks and ensure satisfactory outcomes.
