Hi, I have an indented scar in my right alar which made the skin on my nostril soft. To correct I had Juvederm ultra 3-o.3 ml injected in the right alar 5 months ago, which was injected poorly. I can feel a small lump INSIDE my nose for where the juvederm was injected. I know it'S normal for lumps to occur but the fact it is inside my nose where the right alar is what I am not too sure about. Will this disappear over time as the filler dissolves or is my cartilage damaged from the injection?

Answer: Lumps After Filler Injection Are Not Normal Consequences Of Treatment
I would say that the swelling is more than I would expect and I would give you steroids. An IM shot will work faster followed by oral prednisone. If the lips are massaged/manipulated after the injection, this can occur. I would call the office again or stop by.
Thank you for your question. It is always best to inject both lips. However, having some swelling after kip augmentation is normal and should resolve in 2 weeks. I recommend having some filler injected into your lower lip. If you are unhappy with the results you can always have the filler...
In most cases, the use of Candy Lipz post treatment is not advised. Consult with your injector as he or she knows the scope of the treatment and the specifics about you.
