Big yellowish lump one year after lip filler, how can it be solved? (Photo)

Question

Hi i would love to ask you After nearly one year of my lip filler application now i can see a yellowish lump under my upper lip im really concerned is it just filler migration or worse and how it can be solved Thank you :)

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

In the picture it is not completely possible to tell if this is precisely a hyaluronic acid filler migration. If it is, this can definitively be solved by hyaluronidase. It is crucial to get that seen by a specialist first, before undergoing a procedure such as hyaluronidase injection to dissolve it.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Since your procedure was over a year ago, serious complications from your treatment are unlikely. Sometimes people can bite the inside of their lips after a filler treatment, but these lesions typically do not have a cystic appearance. If this is a localized area of fluid collection, this should be a relatively easy fix. In that regard, it might help you to consult with a reputable facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist for evaluation and management. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
