Lip Filler Migration: What It Is and How to Avoid It
Lip filler migration is one of the most common concerns patients have when considering lip injections.
At CosMed Aesthetics in Tigard, Oregon, we focus on natural placement and proper technique to prevent migration and maintain balanced results.
What Is Lip Filler Migration?
Lip filler migration occurs when filler moves outside of the intended lip border.
This can create:
- A “shelf” above the lip
- Blurred lip borders
- Unnatural fullness
