Lip filler not dissolved 2.5 years later. What should I do? (Photos)

Affectionate50703Jun 14, 2022
I've had hyaluronidase injected and my lips have decreased in size, although I do have remaining lumps. I have not gone somewhere with experience, the nurse doesn't specialize in injections and injects evenly opposed to the harder areas. I am losing hope but I want more feedback and recommendations for someone with experience. My injector said the skin may be stretched and can't revert to normal but I FEEL the filler, it isn't an empty space

Hi @channeldcm! These small bumps are likely nodules caused by the lip filler. If you were treated with a Hyaluronic Acid based filler, Hylenex can dissolve those bumps. Best of luck!
