Red dot on lip after lip filler. Still there after a year. (photos)

Question

I’ve been having my lips injections for 2 years, however the last time I had them done there was no real bruising but I a small red dot which I assumed was from the needle and a little bit of blood, a 9 months down the line it’s still there? It’s not painful although it’s a bump, It just won’t go? If I wear makeup you can see the little bump where is putrids slightly, just wanted to ask what it is and how I can go about getting rid of it or if it will go natural.

Hi, I have performed many lip augmentation procedures using dermal fillers or lip implants for over 30 years. From the photos, the small red dot on your upper lip appears to be a small hemangioma.  If it blanches when pressed this would indicate that this is vascular lesion.  A dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon can confirm the diagnosis and suggest treatment options.  It's likely that this is completely unrelated to having dermal fillers to your lips.  Following my beauty principles, the lips should be full with the upper lip approximately 75 % the size of the lower lip for the lips to appear balanced. The lips can be augmented using a dermal filler or a Permalip implant.
Dermal fillers and lip implants offer a much more reliable volume for augmentation of the lips than permanent fillers or fat injections which are associated with increased, unwanted, side effects.
Hope this helps.
