Is there anything I can do to get rid of this red dot on my lip from lip filler? (Photos)

P
P1995Sep 23, 2019

I had 0.5 lip filler in my lips over 2 years ago and I have 3 small dots from where the needles were injected in my lips which have never disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get rid of these? The most prominent red dot is slightly risen, there is no discomfort from it.

If you developed the wrinkle after you had hyaluronic acid fillers dissolved, I would first try injected of a small amount of neuromodulator to see if that will improve it. If not, then I would inject a small amount of a soft hyaluronic acid filler to improve the appearance.  Hope this helps!
