Permanent bruises after hyaluronidase to lips - is there anything I can do? (photos)

Question

Hello! Last year I had 1 ml Juvederm injected into my very thin lips. Six months later I was unhappy with the results and went to another doctor to inject 0.5 ml. I hated my lips, they were too big and filled with bumps so I decided to dissolve. But now my lips look bruised, I believe I have scar tissue on the bottom lip and some permanent bruises. I still have several bumps and am afraid that my lips will look like that forever. Is there anything that I can do?

In general, if you're experiencing permanent bruising or bumps after lip filler injections, it's possible that you may have developed scar tissue or other complications. Your doctor may recommend treatments such as massage, steroid injections, or laser therapy to help reduce the appearance of these bumps or scars. In some cases, surgical excision may be necessary to remove scar tissue or other abnormal tissue.

Also, it can sometimes happen that the filler cannot be fully metabolized naturally or chemically (depending on the site of injections or the synthetic filler itself). In this case, a surgery is necessary to remove it.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
