The patient presented with complications from unknowingly having permanent filler causing distortion of the upper lip.
➝ This required surgical removal of the material ➝ Resulting in volume loss and asymmetry ➝ Followed by a staged reconstructive approach
What you’ve seen in this series:
• The reality of filler removal • The pre operative lip with filler accumulation • The post removal outcome (loss of structure) • Early stage lip reconstruction using dermal filler
This is not about “adding more filler.”
It’s about restoring anatomy, balance, and function safely and progressively.
A reminder:
Product choice matters. Technique matters. But most importantly who treats you matters.

Chin cleft correction - refinement, not replacement.
A small structural adjustment can completely rebalance the lower face. This case shows softening of a prominent chin cleft while preserving natural movement and identity.
The goal isn’t to erase features it’s to harmonise them.

What most clinicians would do here… vs what was actually needed.
This wasn’t a “lip filler” case. This was a perioral rebalance.
Most people would chase volume. That’s where things go wrong.
Baseline: • Flattened vermilion border • Early volume loss (central lower lip) • Subtle asymmetry on movement • Loss of light reflection → reduced definition
What we did instead: ✔️ Conservative, staged approach ✔️ Micro-aliquot precision (not bulk filling) ✔️ Structure first → volume second ✔️ Respect tissue capacity
The rule most people ignore: If you chase volume before structure, you lose shape.
👄 Before → After
Clinical challenge (for the injectors watching): 1. Total volume used? 2. How many stages? 3. Primary injection plane?

This is the difference between injecting… and designing a result.
