Red "zit" looking mark and bump at Restylane injection site? (photo)

Question

I had Restylane injections last Thursday (7 days ago) and there is a bump with redness still remaining on my chin. Sort of looks like the beginning of a pimple. Will this go away???

Daniel Levy, MD · Answer

You appear to have a small acne cyst on your chin, which can be treated topically or with a kenalog injection.  This type of "bump" is not usually related to or caused by a filler treatment.  Your local dermatologist should assess you, and should be able to eliminate this pink "bump" swiftly.Good luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest going to see your physician.  This could just be a pimple and coincidential, however there are situations where the areas get inflamed or infected post filler and should be evaluated.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Restylane is a great facial filler.  If there is a small bump a week later at the injection site I would return to your treating physician for examination.  It could be a small infection that needs antibiotic therapy.  For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with facial injections and Restylane.

It is too hard to evaluate in this photo if this really could be a pimple, a cyst, or some sort of infection. Please see your physician in person for assistance. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
