Question

i got 1/4 syringe of lip fillers fThleft side of my lip has this mass underneath of it that will appear and disappear throughout the day. My nurse injector has been injecting for over 10 year and has never seen anything like it. Do you know what this could be?

Hello and thank you for your question. We would always recommend a face to face consult however in this case it looks like filler - maybe superficially placed. It would be best to see another injector for an opinion. and sometimes this can be lanced out quite easily.
We hope that answers your question. Best wishes

Thanks for interesting HA lip filler complication with nicely posed photos. I think you have mucous cyst then fills and drains based upon stimulation. I might first try HA dissolvers in few sessions. If that does not improve only excision of the area can offer a final resolution. Must do pathology dx of specimen removed btw.
