Do I Need To Dissolve Filler Before Lip Surgery?
Are you considering lip surgery but unsure whether you need to dissolve your existing lip filler beforehand?
In this article, I aim to demystify this common question by sharing insights into the factors that influence the decision to dissolve lip filler prior to surgery.
The Six-Month Rule: A General Guideline
As a general rule of thumb, I often assess the duration of the existing lip filler to determine whether dissolution is necessary. If the filler has been in place for over six months and has not migrated, it may be deemed suitable to retain, provided it enhances the natural contours of the lips.
Individual Considerations: Tailoring Solutions to Your Needs
The decision to dissolve lip filler before surgery is highly individualized and depends on various factors, including the filler's longevity, distribution, and the patient's lip anatomy. For patients with thin lips who have achieved desirable volumisation and definition with filler, retaining the filler may be advantageous to maintain lip fullness.
Addressing Migration and Over-volumisation
In cases where lip filler has migrated or resulted in over-volumization, it may be necessary to dissolve the filler to restore natural lip proportions and symmetry. Additionally, if the lips are excessively large, obscuring the teeth and necessitating a lip lift to enhance tooth show, dissolving the filler becomes prudent to optimize surgical outcomes.
