Is this scar tissue and can it be removed? (Photos)

October 18, 2018
Asked By:anni2015

Nurse injected Restlyje above my mouth (against my permission). Over the past 6 months, I’ve had 4 injections of hylaronidase in attempt to dissolve it. It has improved but will not fully go away. It is squishy and feels like filler but plastic surgeon said it could be scar tissue. Is it? If it is scar tissue, is there a way to remove scar tissue?
