Could Restylane Silk lip injection cause permanent bumps/nodules? (Photo)

It’s normal after filler injections in the lips to feel some lumps and bumps. These should resolve over the course of a few days to a week. They are NOT permanent. You can apply ice to help with swelling. If the bumps persist after a few weeks, you can visit your injector again to see about dissolving the product.

I appreciate
your question.Some nodules and contour irregularity can happen the first few days due to swelling.  Try to avoid massaging your lips.  You can ice your lips off and on to help with swelling and take a benadryl in the evening (as it may make you sleepy).  If bumps/nodules persist for more than 10 days, please follow up with injecting MD for evaluation.

The best way
to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a
board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic  surgery.



best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  With proper technique, the majority of bumps or nodules will go away as these may more attributed to local swelling or bruising that should resolve.  Having said that, a large amount of any filler product will cause a lump that can be directly attributed to the filler product.  I would wait a good week and then follow up with your plastic surgeon to assess the results.
