What is this bump above my lip and how can this be fixed? (photos)

Question

I had lip filler for the first time two years ago. After the swelling and even after much of the HA dissolved, I was left with this elevated area above my lip which is just not going away. The person who injected me refused to see me and comment on this. Any ideas? My lip is disfigured and I am desperate for some insight into how to fix it.

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.

Thank you for your question and sorry this happened to you. Without an in-person examination, it is difficult to tell what this might be. I recommend consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for an in-person examination to discuss what that bump may be and how to best address it. Best of luck!
