I had filler placed in my inner cheeks several months ago. I was initially pleased with the results but have since noticed the formation of these nodules. They are most apparent when I smile. What are they and how do I get rid of them? Should I add more filler?

Answer: How to get rid of filler bumps? hi Elle. Sorry to hear about your situation. If the filler you had injected is a Hyaluronic acid based product such as the Juvederm or Restylane family, then we would recommend starting with Hyaluronidase injections. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks the bonds on this type of filler and dissolved it, in many cases right away.If you have Voluma, this can be more difficult to resolve (more treatments in some cases) and if you have a non-hyaluronic acid based product like Radiesse, it cannot be dissolved.

Answer: Fillers Thanks for the question and photos. The fillers are visible as you mention. This is common with fillers in this location, it's unfortunate. There are ways to inject the fillers in this area and minimize this problem. For now, you have to dissolve it and then try it with a different filler/technique or try fat, try an implant (they have their own set of problems) or leave it. Consult a surgeon who specializes in facial surgery to go over the options. Best wishes
