Can I dissolve lip filler if I also have lip implants?

Question

I have lip implants (Perma Lip) and Lip filler (Juvederm). I have a horrendous nodule on my top lip which has been sitting there for now 7 months. I hate my lips but fear dissolving them if it will negatively impact the implant. I would really appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It's important to address the nodule on your lip as soon as possible. While it's understandable to have concerns about dissolving the filler or damaging the implant, it's best to consult with a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist who can provide you with an accurate assessment of the situation and recommend the best course of action.

One option that may be considered is a corticosteroid injection, which can help reduce inflammation and the appearance of the nodule. However, this option is typically used for temporary fillers like Juvederm and may not be suitable for your Perma Lip implant.

Another option may be to have the nodule surgically removed, but this would likely involve removing the surrounding tissue as well and could result in scarring or other complications.

In any case, it's important to seek the advice of a qualified and experienced professional who can provide you with an accurate assessment of the situation and recommend the best course of action for your specific situation.
