The skin naturally produces collagen. As you age, the type of collagen is not as resilient and amounts of collagen are much less and this is why you start to develop lines and wrinkles. With various fillers used, this does not decrease your own ability to make
collagen.

I had a type of bovine collagen filler for my marionette lines, minor lines above my upper lip and to raise my cheeks. My lip and area above are too big. Also, there are lumps on the top of each side. 3 months post-treatment, my smile has turned into only a joker smile or one in which my upper gums show. This recent change is upsetting. Is my only hope to have it dissolved? Does this happen to others sometimes?
