Have I Got Lip Infection After Lip Filler, what Can I Do Now? (photo)

You have a complication of lip augmentation. You must find out which product was used before you can get this corrected. Follow up with your surgeon or get your records and obtain a second opinion. Most likely it can be corrected so don't worry.

The only way to correct the current problem with lumps is using Hylenex. It might rake a few treatments to dissolve the filler. Infection would present with more swelling, redness, and tenderness. 

Dear Somarose,

thank you for your post.  This does not appear to be an infection, but very superficial filler product, vs. granuloma.  This can be fixed, but you need to find out what specifically was injected, and follow up with a board certified plastic surgeon. Also, a dental block (which I do on all my lip augmentation patients) will numb the lip and be a pain free augmentation.

Best Wishes,

If you were injected by a reputable physician records should be available to find out what product was used.  You can request your records and then get a second opinion.  If you were injected with Juvederm or Restylane this can be melted with Wydase.
