Bumps on lips 5 months after lip fillers, will they dissolve on their own? (photo)

Hi Katharinnaxo, thanks for your question.  It seems that the "bumps" in your lips are a result of the fillers.  Lip fillers are usually made with hyaluronic acid.  This is a very moldable product and I always like to tell my patients that if they do feel a bump after being injected to massage their lips to smooth out any of the filler.  Depending on the product, lip fillers usually last 6-8 months or so depending on the person.  There is also a type of injection that can dissolve the filler and can be used to reverse the appearance of the lip augmentation.  I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon for more information.  Hope this helps!

Hi and than you for your question! While some swelling and lumps are normal within the first 2 weeks following filler injection, that shouldn't last for this long. The key question is the type of filler your receive. If it's a hyaluronic acid filler (which is the main type of filler recommended for lips), it can be easily revised and resolved with enzyme injection. I hope it helps and good luck!

If the lumps were caused by filler, they will resolve as the filler dissolves. If you had HA filler, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
