Dear MOMSUE, Keloiods with injectable fillers is uncommon. In Medicine nothing is 100%. it would be best for you to start with something like a Hyaluronic Acid such as Restylane if you were to have an injection. Make sure you carefully monitor things and see your MD if anything suspicious is happening.With Warm Regards,Trevor M Born MD
The liklihood that a patient would develope a keloid from lip enhancement is pretty low other than potentially at the insertion point of the needle. Make sure and discuss your concerns with the appropriately board-certified physician prior to your treatment.Dr Edwards
Although keloids of the lips (that is the vermilion or red of the lips) are rare, that complication would be one potential risk in your case, given your tendency to keloid. I have injected many patients who generally tend to keloid, with needles in their normal skin for other medical reasons and have never seen keloids as a result of injecting their normal skin. I think the risk is very low, but not zero.Good luck.
I really have not heard of anyone who had keloids form as a result of a needle stick for the insertion of filler material. So I doubt that you have to worry about this possibility.
If you develop keloids on the face there would be a very remote possiblity of this happeningto your lips. If your keloids are in the keloid prone areas, ie. shoulders, upper back, ears, and not the face even that remote possiblity should become even more remote. If you think about it you undoubtedly, in childhood and beyond, traumatized your lip in some way. If a keloid did not develop then, it is unlikely a needle stick would cause it to happen now.
Most celebrities have some form of "plumping" of their lips. those from years back may have silicone or fat because it was popularized then. the majority now have a Juvederm or Restylane product. Best, Dr. Emer.
Lip augmentation is usually performed by injecting material, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, or fat. Cosmetic surgery may also be performed to plump or augment the lips. All cosmetic treatments, surgical and non-surgical, have the risk of adverse outcomes such as scarring. Bumps in the lips...
There should be no significant issues with adding the Juvederm to your lips for volume enhancement and further reshaping. Both products are based on hyaluronic acid and can be blended without much consequence.
In certain instances, patients may develop sharp downward turning of the corners of the mouth making them look sad or angry. There is a procedure called a "corner lift" which lifts the outer corners of the mouth and pulls them out of the deep groove which blends with the marionette...
If your doctor gives a nerve block which leads to profoundly numb lips, it may be best to wait for you to resume sensation in your lips before eating to avoid dental trauma. Thank you. Dr Joseph
