Why do I get always get lumps after filler that don't go away? (Photo)

There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1 to 2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 minutes at a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer​​

In our experience, temporary lip filler treatments can lead to areas of permanent scar tissue. Sometimes, lip fillers can cause small minor salivary glands to become more visible and palpable on the lip, typically the lower one. It is not clear whether or not your body is sensitive to all hyaluronic acid products. This would be a terrific question for your doctor. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. You probably had too much filler injected or had it placed too superficial. See an experienced board-certified oculofacial surgeon for detailed evaluation and proper care.
Good luck,

It's difficult to know why you are getting lumps after your filler treatment. Often they are a result of injector technique, but that doesn't seem to be the case for you since you consistently have the same issue regardless of injector. Have your injectors confirmed the bumps are filler? Did they disappear when you had the filler dissolved? Are they always in the same place and of the same size? You may wish to have them evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Some people do report, long-term at persistent volume irregularities after the use of fillers, that is not explained by persistent product.
Likely these lumps represent scar tissue from the body‘s reaction to uneven injections or minor trauma. There is really no treatment to make will go away and this is one of the risks patients take when they have fillers done. I cannot stress the importance of going to the most talented and experienced providers. If lumps, efficiently than direct surgical, excision could potentially be an option. I suggest discussing with your providers.
