What Causes Migrated Lip Filler?

Poor Injection Technique

If the injector uses too much pressure, injects too superficially or too deeply, or injects in the wrong plane or area, the filler can move or spread to unwanted places.

Lip Movement

The lips are one of the most dynamic areas of the face, as they are constantly moving, talking, eating, drinking, and kissing. This can cause the filler to shift or disperse over time.

Filler Type

There are different types and brands of hyaluronic acid fillers, with different formulations, consistencies, and cross-linking. The raw materials of some fillers may not be of good quality, which causes them to be less viscous, which may make them easier to migrate. So it's safer to choose a quality lip filler like Aqua Secret®SMOOCY.

What Are The Symptoms Of Migrated Lip Filler?

•  Lumps, bumps, or nodules in the lips or around the mouth

•  Uneven or distorted lip shape or contour

•  Excessive or unnatural lip fullness or projection

•  Pain, tenderness, or discomfort in the lips

•  Inflammation, infection, or allergic reaction

How To Prevent Migrated Lip Filler?

•  Avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, before and after the procedure, as they can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.

•  Apply ice packs to the lips, as they can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

•  Avoid touching, rubbing, or kissing the lips for at least 24 hours, as they can cause the filler to move or spread.

•  Avoid extreme temperatures, sun exposure, or strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours, as they can cause the filler to swell or dissolve.

How To Treat Migrated Lip Filler?

If you notice any signs or symptoms of migrated lip filler, you should contact your injector as soon as possible, as they can assess the situation and advise you on the best course of action. Depending on the cause and extent of migration, there are different ways to treat it, such as

•  Massaging the lips: Sometimes, mild cases of movement of lip fillers can be resolved by gently massaging the lips, which can help redistribute the filler and smooth out any lumps or bumps. However, this should only be done under the guidance of your injector.

•  Dissolving the filler: If the filler has migrated significantly or caused serious complications, it may need to be dissolved with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.

•  Removing the filler: In rare cases, the filler may need to be surgically removed, especially if it has formed granulomas, which are hard nodules that can cause chronic inflammation or infection.

•  Injecting more filler: Sometimes, the appearance of migrated lip filler can be improved by injecting more filler into the lips, which can help balance and smooth out the shape and contour. However, the filler injected into the lips must be of high quality and effective like Aqua Secret®SMOOCY. Using low-quality fillers will worsen the symptoms.
