I have done my first lip filler about 6 years ago. My doctor told me it will stay about 6-12 months ( I forgot the type), I had so many bumps in my lips, she said it will go away and it didn’t go away for weeks. I went back to her and she injected something into my lips ( Maybe corton, not sure) but I still had and have bumps in my lips. So From then I still get Juvéderm injection to cover it up. But now I decided to extract these bumps/ scar tissue. Help me where to go

Answer: Filler and lips There are two issues you are facing. First, the "lumps" that are due to filler. The majority of fillers used for lip enhancement (all in the US) are made of dissolvable substances. It is likely you will need more than one injection of the dissolving enzyme to achieve the full effect. If you had injection of na non- dissolvable filler (synthetic) than the enzyme will not work. Although, on occasion, some of those fillers can be partially extracted using rather simple maneuvers these are much more difficult to remove and frequently impossible. The second issue is the volume of your lips. Having continuously overfilled lips creates a permanent expansion of the tissue with eventual sagging and deflations. These leads to common, yet under-reported need for surgical lip reduction. It is very rare to hear this long term side effect included in patient-doctor conversation prior to filler injection. Discuss these issue with your injector. Good luck!

Answer: Start Fresh Sorry to hear you have had problems with your lip fillers. Its hard to give you a definitive answer, but it seems as though you had some residual lumps of filler in your lips when you had the newest procedure done. What can happen is the "new filler" can push/mix in with the old filler.... making the lumps look worse. In my opinion, the best strategy here would be to dissolve the fillers with hyalase, and wait a week or so before getting them injected again. Im based in London so its difficult for me to give you a recommendation of where to go. Good luck!
