6 month ago bought pump vacuum to make your lip fuller. Now my lips has a hard bump for 4 months. Is this normal? (photo)

Thank you for your question and picture.Your upper lip definitely looks fuller. As for the bump that you fill in the lip, it would need to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon. I just want to point a couple things out to you, corrections that could be made to improve the overall aesthetics of your lips.1. The vacuum appears to not only enlarged your lip, but it looks to have lengthened the nose to lip distance. This can be corrected with an upper lip lift. This is a very powerful procedure to help patients look younger.2. The upper lip appears larger than the lower lip. This is an un-natural look. An augmentation to the lower lip to help balance with the upper lip would improve the overall appearance.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson G. Richards, MD

Hello Ditaaa-You probably caused some bleeding and tissue damage with the pump and it has now consolidated into a hard lump. Continue to gently massage your lip and make an appointment to see a plastic surgeon so he/she can evaluate the damage and whether time, steroid injection, tissue excision or a combination of the above is recommended.Good luck.

Thank you for your
question.Do not use a vaccuum pump to make your lips swell. This can lead to tissue damage under the skin and scarring. The lump you are describing could be scar from tissue necrosis.

To be sure, see
two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and
complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe
for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.
