Lumpy lip fillers won't dissolve, is there anything else I can do? (Photos)

Question

Hey! I got my lips injected in 2018 with a hyloracic acid filler. The injector used a canula for injecting and put a full syringe in. They were very bumpy at the bottom of the top lip. Over the past month I’ve finally decided to get them dissolved but it’s not fully working. It looks better but still lumpy and I’ve had them dissolved 6 times! Is there anything else I can do to make the lumps go away?

It's unfortunate that you're still experiencing lumps after multiple attempts to dissolve the filler. It's possible that there may be residual filler that is not being fully dissolved, or that the lumps could be due to scar tissue from the previous injections.

I would recommend consulting with an experienced and qualified injector, such as a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon, who can examine your lips in person and provide a personalized recommendation for how to address the lumps. They may suggest additional rounds of dissolving or a different approach, such as a hyaluronidase enzyme injection or even surgical intervention.

It's important to be patient and work with a skilled injector who can carefully evaluate your unique situation and recommend the best course of action. Avoid getting injections from unlicensed or inexperienced practitioners, as this can increase the risk of complications and unsatisfactory results.

Best of luck !
