I got 0.8ml Juvederm injected into my top lip 3 weeks ago today. Should I panic?

Question

This was not my first time. I saw a small spot on the side of my lip on the corner of my mouth and I very slightly squeezed it and lots of clear liquid came out. I am not going to touch it and it’s not freely coming out although if I squeezed I’m sure that it would. It’s a very small hole and looks like a white head although it’s definitelt a clear liquid coming out. I feel really worried.

I recommend meeting with your injector for an evaluation.  An examination is necessary to determine what the origin of the spot may be.   You will want to note when the spot appeared after injection.

I recommend following up with your injector. This may be superficially placed filler, which can be reversed with hyaluronidase. I hope this helps!

Lee B. Daniel, MD · Answer

You need to follow up with your injector. It's possible what you see is product, but also possible there may be an infection present. I couldn't say for sure without photos, and an in-person evaluation would be better. Be sure to explain everything to your injector the same way you did here. Best of luck to you.

Kiran Polavarapu, MD · Answer

I would return to your injector for an evaluation/examination. This would be a difficult question to answer over the internet without an actual in-person exam. Good luck!

Please follow up with your treating physician for an examination and discussion of needed treatments.  It could be filler, but could also be and infection.  It is impossible to tell without a photo.
