Lip filler and keloid risk?

I had a small keloid or thick scar behind my ear due to a wrong shot piercing. Now I want to have lip fillers with the hyaluron pen. Is this any danger because of the scarring I once had because of the piercing?

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  If silicone there is little you can do except to make an incision and possibly drain the product.  If your injector did use a Juvederm product than it could be dissolved with a single injection in his/her office.  Hope this helps.

Swelling can be typical and may be asymmetrical. Icing and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase. I hope this helps!

Dear Terrific7574Thank you for your questions and photo!  The injections can trigger more pigment changes . You have good lip contour - so if the risk of color change is a big concern do not have injections.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Hi Ashley, As far as I know, there is no contraindication for lip filler after breast surgery. However, I would contact your surgeon just to make sure prior to any filler. It is best to setup a consultation with an experienced injector. Good luck!
