Are you noticing the lack of a defined border in your lips or a "filler mustache" above the pink border of the lip? Then you most likely have filler migration. In today’s Five-Minute Friday episode, Dr. Kay talks about what causes filler migration and the steps you should take to avoid and fix it! Lip filler migration is becoming a huge epidemic and the reason for that is because filler is being injected imprecisely and too close to the pink vermillion boarder. While some patients may want an over filled look, an injectors job is to let patients know the risks of overfilling but still have respect for their aesthetic desires! Dr. Kay reviews what fillers are more susceptible to migration and the importance of not adding good filler on top of bad filler! The best way to eliminate migration is to get it dissolved and then refreshed. Listen in to get more details about the steps you need to take for the perfect pout and call Dr. Kay’s office at (626) 316-7033 to make an appointment so she can make you beautiful and confident again!  Have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast?
