Question

I haven’t had lip filler done for at least 2.5 years. The last time I did, it was .5 and then a year before that was another .5. Noticed these “blisters” about 8 months ago. They never changed in size etc just noticed they were there. Assumed it was blisters as I noticed I was sucking on my lip often without knowing. I saw someone about it and they said it was lip filler.

HA fillers may be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Since these bulges occurred after your last treatment, you may wish to consider having this dissolved with the enzyme. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If lip filler is still present and HA fillers were used, you can have the filler dissolved.  Visit your injector for a treatment of hyaluronidase.  This should resolve the issue.

An oral mucocele is a type of benign cyst that forms in the mouth, usually due to injury or trauma to the mucous membrane. It's typically filled with clear fluid and often appears as a painless, soft swelling. These cysts commonly occur on the inner surface of the lips, tongue, or floor of the mouth.
These are usually best treated by plastic surgeons, ear, nose, and throat doctors, or possibly oral surgeons.
Best,
