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

Bianca.  So sorry you are having this problem. Depending on the filler used, it should be all gone by the time your scar matures, so should not be a problem. The bump is probably early, immature scar tissue and will settle down over the next few months. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

This is tough to answer without pictures and needs an in-person evaluation. It can sometimes take a series of hyaluronidase to dissolve lumps from fillers, so it may be that you need an additional injection. However, this could be scar tissue, which can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. I recommend following up with your Dr. for a formal evaluation and treatment options. Best, Dr. Emer

If the lip was filled with hyaluronic acid filler, that material can very effectively removed with the enzyme hyaluronidase.  If your filler was silicone oil, which should never be used in the lip, but unfortunately is still being used by unethical doctors and others.  A second opinion is warranted.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your lip injury.  Unfortunately without a series of photographs it is difficult to offer definite advice, but the bump that you are most likely feeling is the result of scar tissue formation from your injury rather than the dermal filler.  After 6 months your filler placement has become well incorporated into your tissues and should largely been reabsorbed.  If the bump is scar tissue, gentle massage of the area and time should help it soften and become smaller.  Hang in there, scars will mature for up to a year after injury.  

Thank you for your question. From your description, this sounds like scar tissue is forming from your trauma. If you have any residual filler it should dissolve in a few months. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
