White looking scar 5 months after marionette filler. What could this be? (Photo)

Dear patient
the white raised area could be the filler that has moved.
I would go back to the practitioner who injected you to get re-evaluated. if it is the filler that has migrated then you can soften it by injecting hyaluronidase.
good luck and best of health.

In some cases, filler can migrate away from the initial injection site, which might result in a visible line or scar in another area. This can occur over time and could potentially be the cause of the white scar you're observing. It is also possible that the injection itself caused a small amount of trauma, leading to the formation of scar tissue in the area. This scar tissue might appear as a white line when you pucker your mouth and chin.

Steroid injections, laser therapy or hyaluronidase could be considered.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

There are several potential reasons why you might be experiencing a white-looking scar five months after marionette filler. It's important to consult with a skilled healthcare professional for an accurate assessment. Some possibilities include:1. Scar Tissue Formation: The body may have formed scar tissue as a natural part of the healing process after the filler injection.2. Inflammatory Response: Filler injections can sometimes trigger an inflammatory response, leading to changes in the skin's appearance. This might include redness, swelling, or the formation of scar tissue.3. Hypopigmentation: The injected area may have experienced a loss of pigmentation, leading to a lighter or white appearance.4. Infection or Complication: In rare cases, complications such as infection or other issues may arise after filler injections, leading to changes in the skin's appearance.5. Fibrosis: The development of fibrous tissue in response to the filler could potentially cause changes in the skin's color or texture.It's important to determine the exact cause of the white-looking scar. A visit to the injector of the filler or other specialist may perform a physical examination, and in some cases, imaging studies may be necessary. They can provide appropriate guidance on potential treatments or interventions based on the specific diagnosis. If you're concerned about the appearance of the scar, don't hesitate to reach out.

An in person evaluation is the best way to determine the nature of the area that concerns you. It is possible that a little filler has migrated over time. If so, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase or you can elect to have the filler be metabolized gradually.

It is hard to tell with these photos. Have a follow up appointment with your injector and see if there is a little filler in that area or another issue.

Best of luck!
