Question 3

i had a lip surgery because a car accident.
still have a lump on my left size of my mouth 
surgery was in october 
is anything else that can i do it?

Accepted Answer

Depends: How big is the "lump"? Is it a cosmetic issue? It is not likely to shrink much more on its own. If it is a cosmetic issue you should consult a doctor for evaluation.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

2 years ago , i did collagen lips filler and few months was looking good by now its been 2 years and didn't dissolve and getting bigger and plump at my lips . any recommendation how can i dissolve? is lips surgery the only way?

Accepted Answer

See below: It depends upon what type of filler was used - most commonly used fillers are made of hyaluronic acid and can be reversed with an enzyme injection - other fillers (sculptra and radiesse etc) are not made of hyaluronic acid and cannot be reversed --Permanent fillers will eventually fade (make take years) and can cause your body to react to the the injected substance - see your derm MD
Good luck
