Can lymphangioma be a rare side effect from lip filler? If so, what can be done to fix it?

Question

I have a linear ridged growth under my top lip after getting lip filler back in April 2022. I have since gotten the filler dissolved, but the linear ridge is still there. I read an article stating that lymphangioma can be a rare side effect of lip filler. Is this true and if so what can be done to fix it, also could it get worse? Thanks!

Lymphangioma is an extremely rare side effect, as it requires lymphatic obstruction in this area, which is already highly vascular and Not easy to obstruct.
Even in this scenario, Hyaluronidase is Always a great effective treatment, as it dissolves and reverses any filler effects.
Anything you might notice after dissolving the filler, is Not related to it and you should seek direct consultation to exclude other reasons.
