I had 0.5ml Juvederm filler put in to my top and bottom lip on 01/11/17. Now have a pocket? (photo)

Question

I had minimum swelling and brusing but now I seem to have a pocket hanging down on my left side of my lip. Could someone please help in what this could be

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with your injector. This isn't typical. If necessary, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. I hope this helps.

Marek Kacki, MD · Answer

If the nodule is not tender, try to take it between your fingers as you would try to pinch it. Apply steady and rather strong pressure , hold it for 20-30 seconds then release. It should spread the accumulated filler at least partially. If successful, you can safely keep molding it until you are satisfied or no further improvement. The next step would be re-shape your lip with a small dose of hyaluronidase to achieve a controlled reduction of volume. Simply adding filler to the other parts of your upper lip would make it disproportional and additional injection to your lower lip may be required. Good luck!

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

If it has been more than a week since your initial treatment I would recommend that you see your treating physician. I would also try roll massaging your lip before you see the doctor. Let them decide what the best options are: you could need either addition of more Juvederm in  the adjacent area or use of hyaluronidase to dissolve the bump. Good luck from New York City
