What is this line that is appearing from my lip filler?

Question

Hi there. I have been on the most frustrating journey the last few months in trying to figure out what this line is and how it can be removed. I work at a MedSpa, and none of the injectors knows what this is and why it happened. I was injected with Revanesse Versa, and my director said that he has seen this happen to patients before. I have dissolved it more than five times now and it still won’t go away. Please help.

Fillers can create permanent changes. We don’t really know the exact mechanisms, but it may be related to inflammation creating scar tissue.
There isn’t much you can do if the problem isn’t related to HA being present.
In other words, if reversal or time doesn’t fix the problem then, this is the change that happened from having fillers.
It is one of the risks with having these treatments. 
I don’t think there is a treatment for your concern and patients should accept that all treatments have some inherent risk.
Working with talented providers is probably the best way to avoid these problems.
Best,
