Thanks for your question. These look like granulomas in which deposits of the filler have essentially formed into little round balls, rather than being spread out throughout the lips. I would recommend massaging them firmly in a circular motion by pinching your lip between your thumb and index finger. It this doesn't work, and you really still don't like them, then you can have them dissolved away by injecting haluronidase into your lips, but then much of the remaining filler in your lips will also disappear.
I'm sorry to see you didn't achieve the result your were looking for with your filler. With the development of white bumps in the subacute period, there are several possibilities for what could be happening depending on what type of filler you received. Many fillers that are based on hyaluronic acid will absorb additional water after their initial placement, and this may create a volume of filler large enough to blanch the overlying skin. On the other hand, any filler can cause an inflammatory nodule if the body reacts to it either because of scant amounts of bacteria that make it into where the filler is or the filler itself. I would return to where you received the filler for an evaluation, diagnosis and possible hyularonidase injection to break up the filler, as likely these white areas won't improve significantly if they're related to nodule formation. The lip is a relatively high risk area for filler, as it is so mobile, the vermillion skin so thin, and the vascularity so robust.
First, I’m sorry to hear about this occurance, granulomas are a person’s own reaction to foreign substance and they occur more frequently than you think. I have seen them more with non-HA lip fillers. Serial steroid injections (kenalog) and fluorouracil injections are the mai...
Hi there, The dermal fillers you mentioned in your post are all hyaluronic acid based fillers, however they differ based on factors such as cohesiveness, thickness, duration/durability. These characteristics determine the outcome of your treatment. The important thing is to be sure that ...
Fillers can be used to evert the lip as well as add volume to the lips. In some cases, adding Botox/Dysport to the treatment plan can help further evert the lip, the so called "lip flip". I recommend you see an experienced aesthetic physician for a detailed in person evaluation.
