Help. Lip filler complications. What can be done? (Photo)

Question

I had my lips done back in June. And two weeks after I began with many issues. I’ve gone back 3 times to the Medical spa where I had them done. First it was filler being too close to blood vessel. My lower lip right side would swell pulse and turn red. They dissolved.And that issue went away. But now I’m dealing with redness, burning, bumps and sensitivity on lips. I’ve been seen again and was dismissed by dr. She said it’s an allergic reaction and will resolve. But It hasn’t… plz help

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 it sounds like you need to seek a second opinion. It's unusual to have this type of discomfort at this point post lip filler. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having.  I encourage you to visit with another physician, such as a dermatologist as others have suggested, for an evaluation.  Your description demonstrates a reaction of some type (viral, allergic, etc).  The resolution will depend on the underlying cause of the issue.

Hello dear.. Your issue now is  redness, burning, bumps and sensitivity on lips, please ask your doctor for a prescription for the allergy to treat the symptoms. Always consult with a board certified cosmetic surgeon.
