✨ Introduction
You asked for plump, defined lips—but instead, you're feeling overdone, puffy, or not quite like yourself.
😔 Don’t worry. It’s more common than you think—and absolutely fixable.
At Pure Aesthetics Clinic, we help clients every week who want to reset, dissolve, or correct lip filler that didn’t go to plan. Let’s walk through how we do it—calmly, gently, and without judgement.
📚 Table of Contents
❗ Signs You Might Be Overfilled
Lips feel hard, tight, or lumpy
Puffiness or a ridge above your upper lip
You’ve lost your natural lip border
Movement looks restricted or unnatural
You simply don’t recognise yourself in the mirror anymore
💡 Why Filler Migration Happens
Migration or overfilling usually happens due to:
Too much product in one session
Filler placed too close to the skin surface
Poor technique or low-quality filler
Layering treatments too often, without letting previous filler dissolve
Lip anatomy not being assessed properly before injection
🛠️ What You Can Do Right Now
Don’t top up again. Adding more often makes it worse.
Book a consultation with a qualified, medical injector
Discuss your options: dissolving, reshaping, or resting the area
Remember: a good injector won’t shame you—they’ll guide you.
💧 How Dissolving Works
If dissolving is needed, we use hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the filler safely.
✔ Patch test to rule out reactions
✔ Numbing cream to reduce discomfort
✔ Precise, minimal injections to soften problem areas
✔ Visible results often within 24–72 hours
✔ Optional refill after 2–4 weeks once lips settle

🙋 FAQs
Q: Will I lose all my volume?
Only the filler is dissolved—your natural lips remain.
Q: Is dissolving painful?
There’s a small sting, but we use numbing and it's over quickly.
Q: Can I get filler again in the future?
Yes—usually after a short rest period to let your lips fully settle.
✨ Final Thoughts
Overfilled lips don’t have to be your new normal. With the right guidance, you can start fresh—with balance, confidence, and control.
