Dermal fillers can stay beneath the skin tissues and move upwards with repeated treatments. This is what we call filler migration. We refer to this as a 'duck' Lip appearance, where the top lip protrudes far over the bottom lip- and a projection of the lips from a side on view, which let's face it, no one thinks is attractive. Clients may experience this when they have had repeated lip filler treatments over time.
Imagine you have had several dermal filler treatments before coming to see us here at Gaia Skin Deep clinic Bristol and are requesting more filler treatment we may recommend that we dissolve the existing filler with an injectable product called Hyaluronidase.
Our recommendations at Gaia Skin Deep clinic Bristol will reduce the likelihood of your lips becoming over stretched with the previous filler product. We would only recommend this for patients who have had many treatments over the years.
IF MY FILLER PRODUCT HAS MIGRATED WILL IT EVER DISSOLVE ON IT'S OWN?
Migration is very unlikely to happen after just one treatment. Migration all depends on when the filler treatment was done. If a client begins to experience filler migration it is wise to not wait until it becomes visibly worse but instead to get it dissolved. It is always important for the aesthetician to assess and review their clients to rule out any medical or psychological harm that i being caused by the migration to help clients make an informed decision on what the next steps should be in their treatment process. But in most cases reversal is advised!
