Venous lake on my bottom lip, can I still get fillers? (Photos)

Question

I have a flat venous lake on my bottom lip. It doesn't hurt and never had problem with it. I really want my lips more symmetrical. Is it dangerous for me to have fillers with the venous lake. It's quite small.

Thank you for your question, Mamamia2016!Yes, you can still get lip fillers! However, it is important to see an experienced injector as they need to take extra care in the area of the venous lake. It is important not to inject directly into that area or cause excessive bleeding or bruising there. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe to get lip filler if you have a venous lake. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

It appears you have a venous lake although it is difficult to confirm this diagnosis by photo. I would recommend a consult with a dermatologist to confirm that it is truly a venous lake. If it is confirmed to be a venous lake lip filler can still be performed although more caution would be needed in this focal area to avoid bleeding and bruising. If the venous lake bothers you, I would suggest laser treatment which is usually very successful. I would recommend evaluation by a board certified dermatologist to assess the venous lake and discuss lip filler. Best wishes.

There is no problem injecting fillers into the lip in someone with a benign venous lake. If the venous lake bothers you, it can safely and easily be removed typically with 1-2 laser treatments. Occasionally, if they are stubborn or large, they can also be cut out with a minimal mark.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes, you are still able to have fillers. Your injector will use care to minimize bruising to the area.  I encourage you to visit with an experienced injector for your treatment.

Thank you for your question!
It is safe to get lip filler if you have a venous lake; however, your provider should be experienced enough to avoid bleeding and bruising in the venous lake area. I would recommend seeing an experienced dermatologist for assessment of the lesion and consider removing it for a better esthetic result.
Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes this wouldn't be a problem but there is a chance this could create a large bruise if the injector catches it. This would be easily treated with laser if this interests you. Please seek a face to face consultation with a qualified and experienced practitioner, best wishes
