Part of HA in upper lip won’t dissolve with hyaluronidase. (Photos)

Question

I’ve got my lips done with HA filler. It was to thick and my lips looked so unnatural. It was Juvederm Volift. After that, my lips were dissolved with Hyaluronidase except one part that can not be dissolve. I don’t know why is that? Is there any chance that this is some kind of scar tissue, or do I need more treatmans with hyaluronidase, or maybe surgical excision? Pls help, I am so sad.

Don't be sad most injections with hyaluronic acid are reversible. Go back to your injector and they should use more hyaluronidase to dissolve the ball of filler. You must also remember to administer the hyaluonidase the doctor must use a needle, you could be swollen and bruised afterward for a week or so. I hope that helps. Good luck!

thankyou for your question. The lip lump just need further hylase injected. It sometimes takes a few attempts and larger doses to dissolve lumps. Especially when they are hard.Go back to your injector and have further treatment(s)Good luck

I would encourage you to follow up with your injector. It's possible, if it is a big ball of filler, that it just may need another treatment (or two) of hyaluronidase. Sometimes filler needs to be treated multiple times to reverse all of it. Best of luck!
