What is this red dot one year after lip filler injection? (photos)

Question

I had my second lip filler injection December 2022. I have had several issues since then. Like severe drynes on lip line, as I had it injected on the lines only. This issue took several months to dissolve. But I have been noticing this red “dot” especially since may 2022. What is this and how do I get rid of it? No pain, nothing. Just a huge red dot.

This area that concerns you could be from many different causes.  It's best to return to your injector or a dermatologist for an evaluation and to learn of treatment options.

Hi there,I think it would be important to find out the type of filler you had injected.Once you know this info, you may consider trying a different filler next time as you may have a mild sensitivity to the product.Also, this looks like a broken capillary that may be from injection site. You could laser it.If all else fails, I would recommend dissolving filler and starting fresh with another brand.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Joelle Lieman
