What do you think the mark is on my top lip and how can I make it go away? (Photos)

Question

Mark on lip from lip filler. I’ve had this mark on my lip for quite awhile now. I’ve had lip filler done three times. After the second procedure, I started noticing it. The injector said it’s a ruptured blood vessel and will go on its own once the filler starts dissolving. It hasn’t started going away though. What do you think the mark is and how can I make it go away? By using laser?

Hi - If this has been present for weeks to months it is not a broken blood vessel. Depending on the brand of HA lip filler injected, it could be an inflamed granuloma forming as the body reacts to the presence of the foreign product. I recommend dissolving that area and trying a different brand. I hope this helps. Dr. Brown

Hi there,
It looks like you need an evaluation from a Dermatologist.  That may not be a blood vessel. 
See an expert!  Best of luck!
