HELP! Trauma after lip augmentation! Need treatment advice other than surgery.

mbianca123
I got lip augmentation in May and was happy with the results. But I fainted in Oct, hit my face and damaged my upper lip. It got swollen and bruised. In few weeks a little bump formed inside it. I've been visiting a cosmetic clinic since then trying to dissolve it. I've had 4 treatments already & can see the progress but the lump is still there. I'm scared that it might be the scar tissue wrapped around filler. I don't want to get surgery. How many more treatments do I need for it to disappear?
