Lip Cyst Removed After Juvederm Injection

Sounds like you have a mucocele which probably should be removed. It may look enlarged with filler as it is pushed on by the product.

 Dear Jenn1, What you have is a mucocele. This is due to an injury to some of the ducts of the many small salivary glands in the lip. The treatment requires removal of the cyst and some the tiny salivary glands in the area. See an oral surgeon or ENT for treatment. Dr. ES

Your mucus cyst is now bigger after a filler. It is possible that the lip filled is merely pushing on the cyst. There might be actual filler in the cyst. The cyst can be drained, and if it is cyst content and not filler, the cyst will shrink but may recur unless it is surgically excised. If Juvederm found its way into the cyst, then injection with hyaluronidase may shrink the content but the cyst will remain and can be excised electively in the future.

Hi Jenn, You may have your cyst removed even with Juvederm in your lips. Make sure that your dermatologist is skilled at surgery in this area. If not seek out a plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or ENT surgeon. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
