Experiencing itchy rash problems and wondering if it’s related to my lip filler migrating?

Question

I’ve been getting lip fillers for about 4 years. Over the last year I’ve experienced weird side effects that I feel might be related to my lip filler. Dry, Itchy, small bumps on my lips every once in awhile and now (For the past 4 or 5 months) I’ve had a very itchy rash on my neck and chin almost every single day. Do you think this is related to my lip filler migrating?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If you've been using the same filler for the last 4 years it would be doubtful that your rash is related.  I encourage you to visit with your injector for an evaluation.  If needed the product can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  I would see about having your filler dissolved to try and eliminate possible causes.  If migrating the aesthetic differences are likely concerning and should be addressed, hopefully also improving your itching.

Hello and thank you for your question. I think its unlikely that after 4 years all of the sudden you would develop a reaction. I suggest a consultation with the person who did your fillers and see what the think. Best wishes.Dr. T

Hello and thanks for your question. The itch-particularly on your neck and chin is unlikely to be related to filler. My advice would be to go back to your injector with the small lip bumps and let them be evaluated- if it is filler then they can be dissolved which will eradicate the problem if it is filler related, Best wishes
