Had Hyalase 3 times for lip filler lumps - can they be permanent?

Meriam.AlentabeMar 25, 2023
I have made filler in my lips a year ago. I got many lumps after that filler appointment. I went back to the clinic and put hyalase. Some of the lumps went away. After months I discovered 3 lumps in my upper lip that is located deep in the lip. I went and got full hyalase in them. But they didn’t go away. I have put hyalase in them 3 times but ye the are still there and still the same size. What can I do? Can fillers lumps stay parmanent? I’m starting overthinking that they may be some tumor

Hi, It’s tough to determine from your photos. It’s possible that it’s your middle infraorbital fat pad. Fat pads typically bulge out and become more prominent when you look up at the ceiling. A series of 3 sessions with hyaluronidase 3 years after hyaluronidase acid filler should defin...

You can target one side of the face or location for removal of intradermal filler, however use of hyaluronidase is not precise and may result in asymmetry compared to the non-targeted side. It is recommended you discuss with your treating provider.
