Can you see lip injections on a dental X-ray?

Question

Do lip injections show up on radiographs?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, HA fillers will not show up on x-rays. Filler results last between 6-12 months. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello, Great question if there is calcification due to trauma/hematoma or calcium in product, may see traces of product.  Is there a particular filler that was used or personal experience or just curious?  Thank you for the question, Dr Violetta Mailyan.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Hyaluronic acid base fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane will not show up on an X-ray although Radiesse which is a calcium based filler may. However, Radiesse should not be injected into the lips.

Hello, 
Lip injections do not contain calcium or metal for it to show on radiography. 
Hope this helps.
