Saline flush for small bump of superficial filler on lower lip? (Photos)

May 21, 2023
Asked By:suzyjane8 in England, United Kingdom

I like the overall shape of my lower lip but there is a small bump of superficial filler on the right side. I feel like it’s superficial as that part is a different pigment and you can see a light bump. I don’t want to inject hyalase into it as I’m worried this will dissolve the surrounding filler too. Is it possible to inject saline just into that area to spread the filler and make it less visible? I heard you can also poke it out with a needle but I’m not sure if this will leave the lips uneve
