Large lump inside my mouth a bit below my lip after restylane injection?

Hi @Sadie C. After dermal fillers, swelling and bruising is common. Allow two weeks for the product to settle in and if the lump is still present you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for your question. You should have them have a look at it and determine if it is product or a little bruise. When injecting into a muscle, the product is often prone to get the path of least resistance, and shoot off to the side. This just needs to be massaged back into place. I hope this helps.

As an injectable expert, I commonly see patients who experience some swelling and lumps the first few days after injection; however, it is hard to assess without a photo or in-person consultation. If the bump does not resolve within one to two weeks and you are still concerned, I suggest you visit your treating physician for a follow up. The lump probably represents some Restylane that has migrated away from the injected area. If this is so, it can be easily and painlessly dissolved.

After fillers to the lips, you may find some minor swelling and irregularities which need time to settle. Allow at least 2 weeks, then if it is still present, you can consult with your board certified plastic surgeon and discuss correction.Remember, all these products are temporary, so it will eventually go away.Good luck.

Swelling and small bumps are quite common after injectables, give the area a full two weeks heal and settle before seeing your final result. You can schedule a follow-up appointment with your medical provider to further assist you
