Answer: Lumps in lips suddenly, several months after HA injection. Hello and thank you for the question. You may have developed a delayed nodule. While this occurrence is relatively rare, it has been reported in the literature. Sometimes the appearance of nodules occurs shortly after patients experience flu-like symptoms. Treatment currently consists of oral prednisone, intralesional injection with corticosteroids or hyaluronidase. Adjunctive measures may also include massage of the nodule and warm compresses. Time from treatment to resolution of nodules typically takes about 6 weeks. It is important to follow up with your injector for a thorough evaluation so appropriate treatment can be initiated. Hope this helps.
