Can lip filler be accidentally manipulated during tonsillectomy? And what can be done about it? (photo)

Thank you so much for your question regarding lip augmentation.  I
recommend dermal fillers, specifically hyaluronic acid based fillers. 
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in your body and HA based fillers are also
reversible.  It is highly unlikely that your filler would be manipulated that much 5 months after treatment.  It is more likely that the HA is holding on to fluid and you are seeing residual swelling.  I would wait two weeks and let the swelling subside.  Worse case scenario you could always have it dissolved.
I recommend an in person consultation with your provider. 
Hope this helps.
Best of luck!

Thank you for your excellent question and concern.  It is very unlikely that the your filler would be distorted 5 months after injection. Based on your pictures it’s much more likely that you have some post-op swelling of the lip after the tonsillectomy.  Cheek retractors are used during the tonsillectomy procedure that can press on the lip and result in temporary post op swelling or “fat lip.”  This should resolve without intervention within a few days.  If it is not resolving on its own, I recommend following up with your surgeon for evaluation to see if steroids or hyaluronidase is indicated.
