I had restylane injected in my upper lip 5 months ago, I can feel lumps on the inside of my lip, one small visible one where the needle went in in the middle and an irregular appearance above my lipline. I went to a new surgeon to look at it, and he said there was no product left in there and that it could be scar tissue from bad technique. How can I get back to my pre restylane state, I wasn't to concerned about it, because i thought once the material absorbed it would go away...
Answer: Incision & drainage might be necessary

Answer: Hyaluronidase If you see or feel lumps, hyaluronidase injections may take care of your problem. If they are inflamed, they can sometimes be due to a low-lying infection and may require more aggressive treatment. You need to have an examination performed by an experienced injector to determine the best course of action. Typically, Restylane lasts about a year in the lips but this is variable. Best of luck.

Answer: I would inject Hyaluronidase, then a steroid if necessary I would personally inject hyaluronidase into the concerning areas as Restylane can definitely last longer than 5 months in the lips. If the fullness does not resolve, then I would consider an injection of dilute steroid and aggressive massage. More than likely, your lip will return to it's pre-injection state. I have never seen "scarring" in the lip due to injections of Restylane, no matter what the technique is.
