What will happen if I get this filler dissolved?

Question

About 1.5 years ago I had HA filler in my lips. Prior to that I had been getting filler in my lips every year or so. Just half of a syringe. The filler I last had 1.5 years ago left me with this white hard lump. I'm guessing since it's still here over a year later it's not going to go away in its own. I mentioned it to my injector but she told me it would be too risky to dissolve. Is this true?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

If somebody develops a nodule or a bump after ha filler, the options are to either try to dissolve it with hyaluronidase, reduce it with a steroid injection, or to excise it surgically. We would always suggest a non-surgical option before a surgical option. That said, scars in the lip heal incredibly well. Nearly invisibly. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
