Swollen lymph node after Stylage M lip filler - normal? 5 days p.o.

There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. Lip fillers should not result in a swollen lymph node under your ear - this is most likely a separate issue. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Enlarged lymph nodes after injectable filler is not expected. I would suggest you contact your treating physician and return to him or her for a follow-up to discuss your concerns. All the best! Dr. Hetz - Ottawa, ON.
