29 yo female who had 1.5 syringes of juvederm injected into lips in 2018. Lump was visible from the very first day of injection. I was told to massage it and that eventually it would go away. Between 2021-2022 I had six separate hylenex injections. My doctor said it probably wont improve any more. I do have severe allergies and imo a wonky immune system, not sure if that could contribute. Can I laser or excise the lump? Thank you!!

I would suggest not getting any more filler for you may have a weak allergic reaction to the filler. More filler may give you a worse reaction. If you wanted, the enzyme could be given to remove most of the filler, or you can let it dissolve slowly over the next year.

I have experience in treating scars from dog bites to the lips. In your case, I believe you woukd be happy with a small amount of filler. It would disguise the small bump you see when smiling, while preserving a natural contour and volume to the lips.
