I have a solid and movable lump, Dr. suspected fillers. Can Juvederm ultra plus migrate from lips to the cheek?

Question

Ultra sound says either tumor or enlarged lymph node. Firstly, can tumors in the face move? My lump started in the middle of my cheek 11 mnths later my masseter. Can it be a lymph node located in the middle of the cheek and move down gradually to masseter, with the feel of a lump? Can Juvederm ultra plus (if they aren't lying it was) migrate from lips to the cheek and move gradually down as explained above? Lastly, will filler show up on an ultra sound as solid or fluid?

I have seen a few patients where the juvederm moved after placement. u can have that lump injected with the dissolving enzyme. if its filler it will dissolve. and it will answer your question.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, it is unlikely that this is filler that has migrated. I recommend following up with your Doctor to go over your ultrasound results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Juvederm UP will not migrate from the lips to the cheeks as it quickly becomes incorporated into the surrounding tissues after injection.  What you are most likely experiencing is various enlarged lymph nodes.  Continue to follow up with your doctors to diagnose what may be taking place.  Hope this helps.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

It is highly unlikely that your Juvederm migrated from your lip to your masseter muscle. I would suggest that you continue to follow up with your regular physician to get to the root of the issue. So sorry that you are experiencing this. Best of luck.

Juvederm will not migrate from the lips into the cheek/masseter area. I would continue to follow up with your physician for continued diagnosis of what is going on.
