Teosyal: Stories

I had teosal injected into my lip 2 &1/2 years ago, my lip reacted & after the 3 month period I've was left with 2 lumps either side & un evenness, it usually is ok but some days I'll wake up & it's covering teeth! I'm going to see a different surgeon tomorrow, is hylauronaise not recommended as I heard it can shrink the lip???

Hi I am on day 2 of teosyal deep line filler in my upper lip i notice that one side seems bigger than the other and I have a bump on the bigger side does anyone have any similar experience.

Hi

i had Toesyal kiss injected in my upper lips last december (2009) an had a huge bump within one week. i had to put up with being asked repetitively if had been bitten by a dog on the lip. One month later my doctor injected something to make it go away. never did. Its been over a year now, the lips have gone down, and the bump is still there. (it was a minimal amount injected so were it not for that bump, i doubt it would have been noticed)
i am very upset by this. wanted to share my story. thanks for yours.

I had the bumps from Teosyal for about a month...then I started massaging it and the bump got more subtle..then I went in for juvederm, no probs... my suggestion? go get your lips done, the bumps are, i'd almost say, a natural part of these injections. if you scar easily, then you will always have bumps when you get your lips injected. gluck and keep me posted!

Hi there, I've got two bumps on my lower lip from Teosyal. I recently got them done in Vancouver using Teosyal Kiss and have now moved to Toronto and had a consultation to get the full syringe of Juvederm done (since I couldn't find any Dr. to do the mini-lip injection with Teosyal in Toronto). The Dr. looked at my lips and said the reason she doesn't use Teosyal is because it has been show to cause "granulation"....which is basically what you have...those bumps. It's basically a fancy word for scar tissue. I asked her questions about Teosyal, mainly why Toronto doctors don't seem to use it. And it's in large part due to the US - the FDA hasn't approved its use yet in the USA, so Toronto docs want to play it safe. Which makes sense and why the whole "Granulation" explanation came up. Anyway...good news is that it goes away, bad news is, depending on how well your healing properties are, it could take a long time. My new doc says to massage it....I started and its been one week and I've noticed the bumps getting smaller now. In fact, I'm going in next week to get Juvederm.

It seems to me that the material that forms the bump has for some reason become enucleated that means that a pouch has formed around it, this can be caused in cases whee there is some infection during the initial placement of the product and is not restricted to any brand of HA the pouch or sack if yoy like can be split with the use of a needle and the enclosed HA dispersed I would recomend you find an experienced practitioner in your area to do the procedure. Avoid the use of hyalurase as it can caused piting.

same thing with me... had teosyal injected along with fortelis extra.... its been 14 months and the damn product is still in my lips... I had hyaloronidase injected to dissolve but its almost impossible to know where there hyaloronic acid is in order to dissolve...those areas dissolved but now I have slight dents because of uneven dissolving and the areas where the product still exists? Wo with a biopsy you can see exactly where the product is? Thsi should help your injector know exactly where to inject hyalorronidase...
