What is the lip filler known as "dermaren" and what can be used to dissolve or soften it? (photos)

Question

I got lip injections done unprofessionally and they were great until I got way too much. I should've known better I know. It's been 8 months now and my lips are so hard. Being in any tightened motion just squeezes the filler together. It's completely unnatural! I talked to the lady who did them and she said she used a filler known as dermaren. I've tried hyaluronidase and kenacort and there's been no change. My lips stay hard..

Jo Herzog, MD · Answer

The filler that was used is a HA filler so it should be dissolvable with hyaluronidase. See a dermatologist or plastic surgeon that is experienced with fillers and see what they can do for you. Please don't let anyone without a lot of experience inject anything into your face. You can have problems or be unhappy with results

Edwin Ishoo, MD · Answer

What do you mean you had your lips done "unprofessionally"? This is an HA filler but it is not approved in United States. The person who performed your injection is practicing medicine with out a license which is a serious crime. I would suggest you report this to your local authorities. Good luck.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

If you saw someone who injected a non-approved filler into you, this means they are committing a crime. Are you also seeing this same person for the removal of the filler? I sincerely hope not, and I would suggest you report this person to the state board. This is a crime and people could be in danger. Not only that, but have you thought that perhaps someone who is already being dishonest is also being dishonest about what they may have used on you? Maybe she didn't put in Dermaren but something worse, like silicone, and that's why it's not going away and is so hard??"This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot  
be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person  
treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
