Will filler lumps formed inside of upper lip dissolve in a reasonable amount of time? (photos)

Question

Lip filler lumps have formed on the inside of my lip 6 months after voluma. Will it dissolve naturally withing the 12-24 month time period or will it take years?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

HA fillers like Voluma can be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase.  If you want them to be metabolized gradually it could take 12-24 months.  You can try massaging the area which may help some.  See an expert injector near you for an evaluation and to learn more.

Yes the short answer is that the filler should dissolve right away within a week or two.  But... using Voluma in the lip is not anything that should be used there.
Hope it dissolves quickly and best of luck!
