How to get rid of this small bump near injection site? (Photo)

lr4catMar 25, 2024
I got .5 of restalyn kyss filler in my lips about 3 months ago. Recently I've noticed I have this tiny bump on my upper lip (circled in picture). when i add my lip liner it looks weird because the bump is raised. I was going to try to pop it but I'm not sure what it is and i don't want a scar. What do you recommend I do to it or put on it to make it go away? I wear lipgloss and liner daily so wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t related to the injection and is just a pimple. Is this common?

You can continue to let the current filler dissolve or you can have hyaluronidase injected to dissolve it. To improve future results it is important to find an expert injector. Review before/after photos and discuss what you want in terms or results and your concerns.

If you have HA fillers you can either wait for them to be metabolized naturally or you can have the dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase. Serious side effects from this enzyme are not common. I encourage you to visit with an expert injector to discuss your concerns and learn more about your...

HA fillers may be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Since these bulges occurred after your last treatment, you may wish to consider having this dissolved with the enzyme. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
