What looks like blackheads in my lips after Juvederm. Is it possible that the filler did this?

EliciaRho15Jul 31, 2017
After I had injections done 3 weeks ago I experiance a bad coldsore(I never get them) on my outer lip area. After I started to notice I have tiny dots all around the middle of my upper lip. I am getting a biopsy the end of the month, my dr believes possible pre-cancerous spot right around where these assumptive blackheads/dots are.  Could it be the other underlying issue? I'm not sure if I need to call the plastic surgeon or my family dr.

Swelling after lip injections can persist up to two weeks.  Icing the area can help, as well as keeping your head elevated.  Some patients find the use of bromelain to be helpful.  If after two weeks you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.
