My aunt said I'd regret getting lip filler at 22, and she was right

She told me last year that my face would keep changing and the filler would look off in a few years, but I went ahead and got a full syringe anyway. Now, just over a year later, the shape looks a bit puffy and doesn't fit my natural lip line like it used to. Has anyone else had filler that aged poorly as their face matured?

How much did your face actually change in that year? I got a tiny bit done at 24 and it's wild how even subtle cheekbone development made it sit differently. It's not just about the filler moving, your whole bone structure is still shifting under it.

Honestly, how much filler did you get? That's the key thing. A tiny bit might just settle in, but if you put a lot in young, it can look weird as your face keeps growing. I'd wait until at least 26 before adding more. Your bones are still changing shape underneath, so what looks good now might not later. It's better to let your face finish doing its thing first.
