Thanks for your question and your concern. Chemotherapy agents and steroids have been used with some moderate success. I recommend surgical removal. The incision is hidden inside the smile line- no toxins or agents hurting your body. I think it's best but that's just my opinion. Find an expert who you can communicate with and trust! Good luck and God Bless!Dr. Robb

Hi @mlo1521230811.  Permanent fillers cannot be dissolved easily. I suggest 5FU/steroid injection.  I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

If you're unhappy with your final results, 5fu/steroid injections and venus legacy/viva treatments can help soften results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

I'm sorry for your situation. This is a problem with permanent fillers! They cannot be dissolved easily. I suggest 5FU and Steroid, but you should have an expert inject this for you.If non-surgical methods fail, then consider surgical excision.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

It appears that the filler has either been injected too superficially or that you have acquired a keloid/granuloma.
If steroid injections have not helped then it may have to be excised.  This will leave you with a scar.
A good surgeon could hide it in the nasolabial fold, but it will most likely remain visible.  If you are susceptible to keloids you would need to remember that this can then also cause a keloid.
