Lip filler brand to minimize the risk of granulomas getting bigger?

Question

Hello, I had fillers done by someone who wasn’t certified 4,5 years ago and now i have a couple of tiny granulomas on my lips. I want to get fillers again and was wondering what would be the best brand for me to minimize the risk of them getting bigger and infection. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your question.  Either of the major HA filler brands should afford you a nice improvement with little risk of granuloma formation. See a specialist in consultation however.

The only filler that is known to develop granulomas as radius and that filler is not recommended for lips because of it.

Otherwise find someone who has a lot of experience and will avoid injecting close to the skin surface.

Best,

Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case we would use a filler brand that has good longstanding use and good clinical evidence backing it. FDA approved products are what you should be considering for high quality fillers.  I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes
