Could white dot on lip after lip filler be superficially placed, or an immune response? (Photo)

It's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis without a physical examination, but I can offer some insights based on your description. A white dot on the lip following filler injections could be due to a few possibilities:

Superficially Placed Filler: If the filler was placed too close to the surface of the skin, it might appear as a small, raised white dot. This can sometimes happen if a small amount of filler is inadvertently deposited more superficially than intended.

Immune Response: Your body's reaction to the filler or to a recent illness, such as the flu, might cause a localized immune response. This could potentially manifest as a small, raised lesion, although this is less common.

Other Causes: It could also be unrelated to the filler, such as a small cyst, blocked gland, or a minor infection.

In terms of resolution, if the white dot is due to superficially placed filler, it might not go away on its own and could require intervention, such as hyaluronidase injections to dissolve the filler. If it's an immune response or another cause, it may resolve as your body recovers from the flu.

To ensure proper diagnosis and treatment, I recommend consulting with the healthcare provider who performed the filler injections or a dermatologist. They can assess the area in person and suggest appropriate management.
