Jaw lumps after jaw filler. Looking for suggestions on my next step (Photo)

Question

Hi received jaw filler to try and help my slight sagging under my chin. I have done Rf microneedling multiple times and it wasn’t helping so jaw filler and platysma botox were recommended. It’s been a few months and when I chew it’s super lumpy on one side. Also when I open my jaw you can see the filler lines. Looking for suggestions on my next step. My doctor said it should just go down when I saw her after 2mo

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you had with your filler treatment.  You can consider dissolving it with hyaluronidase.  Sometimes it takes more than one session to completely dissolve it.  Always choose an expert injector for treatment.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Sometimes it is normal to feel filler, but you should not always be able to see the filler. It appears the filler needs to be dissolved and that can be done in a simple procedure which involves an enzyme that breaks down the filler. Sometimes, multiple sessions may be needed to dissolve the filler, depending on the type and amount. I would recommend seeing a practitioner who specializes in filler placement as well as dissolving filler. Hope this helps!

Seeing the 2 posted photos you are having a granulomatous reaction to the fillers. You did not specify which filler was used? I treat these with in office ultrasound examination first (fee $500). Then injections of mixed hylenex with steroids (larger volumes like 2 cc's), or in some cases I inject 5-FU. Fee from $800+. Best t seek/research injecting MDs whom can help you or fly in to see ones with experience
