Teosyal - Bump After Three Years Still Here
ORIGINAL POST
Hi guys, I've seen realself was asking for more...
$500
Hi guys, I've seen realself was asking for more reviews on teosyal so here we go. I injected this product first in june 2007 five times and again in september 2008 two or three times.
So I notice a bump after the first session in 2007 which is still here today. I made a biopsie to find out what it was and my dermatologist confirmed that it was hyaluronic acid. I don't know what to do, I don't know if my doctor injected it wrongly or if it is the product in itself.
Second thing is that I can still feel the product in the lips eventhough it's been a while I haven't done injections. My lips got sensitive, for example when I eat an apple, I have to be careful if not it hurts. I just want that thing to go away, I read that you can take it away with hyaluronase but one of the girls here said that her lips would look worse after this. I'm just wondering as the product is still here if there is still a possibility of a reaction. Could any doctor answer this? thank you!

I had exactly the same symptoms as you are describing a few years ago it was a different color but the exact symptoms and it was in actual bacterial infection that would flare up I would take antibiotics it would go away then like you said feel some nodules for me and sure enough it would get swollen and be painful and look unsightly I would take more antibiotics it would die down again I haven't had any flare-ups in a few years I'm hoping the infection is completely gone the doctor told me it was MRSA most likely the injector had some bacteria on the syringe or maybe it was on my skin and it wasn't cleaned properly I don't know for sure if that's what your situation is but it sure sounds like it I would get some very strong antibiotics and take them for at least 5 days

I was prescribed bactrim extra strength and keflex 500 mg and when it flared up again a few months later I was prescribed bactrim extra strength and cipro 500mg I was taking one pill of each two times a day

same thing with me... had teosyal injected along with fortelis extra.... its been 14 months and the damn product is still in my lips... I had hyaloronidase injected to dissolve but its almost impossible to know where there hyaloronic acid is in order to dissolve...those areas dissolved but now I have slight dents because of uneven dissolving and the areas where the product still exists? Wo with a biopsy you can see exactly where the product is? Thsi should help your injector know exactly where to inject hyalorronidase...

It seems to me that the material that forms the bump has for some reason become enucleated that means that a pouch has formed around it, this can be caused in cases whee there is some infection during the initial placement of the product and is not restricted to any brand of HA the pouch or sack if yoy like can be split with the use of a needle and the enclosed HA dispersed I would recomend you find an experienced practitioner in your area to do the procedure. Avoid the use of hyalurase as it can caused piting.

What do you mean infection, like because of the needle or before he even injected? thanks for helping!

Hi there,
I've got two bumps on my lower lip from Teosyal.
I recently got them done in Vancouver using Teosyal Kiss and have now moved to Toronto and had a consultation to get the full syringe of Juvederm done (since I couldn't find any Dr. to do the mini-lip injection with Teosyal in Toronto).
The Dr. looked at my lips and said the reason she doesn't use Teosyal is because it has been show to cause "granulation"....which is basically what you have...those bumps. It's basically a fancy word for scar tissue.
I asked her questions about Teosyal, mainly why Toronto doctors don't seem to use it. And it's in large part due to the US - the FDA hasn't approved its use yet in the USA, so Toronto docs want to play it safe. Which makes sense and why the whole "Granulation" explanation came up.
Anyway...good news is that it goes away, bad news is, depending on how well your healing properties are, it could take a long time. My new doc says to massage it....I started and its been one week and I've noticed the bumps getting smaller now. In fact, I'm going in next week to get Juvederm.

Hi chinkydiva! I´m happy to see that I´m not the only one to have that problem and that there is an explanation. It´s not chocking that bump but I was more worried about the health part, they say it goes away in some months and after more than two years the bump is still there...Now I would like to go back to lip injections but I´m worried I get more bumps even using other brands and with another doctor...For how long have you had these bumps?
September 13, 2010
I had the bumps from Teosyal for about a month...then I started massaging it and the bump got more subtle..then I went in for juvederm, no probs...
my suggestion? go get your lips done, the bumps are, i'd almost say, a natural part of these injections. if you scar easily, then you will always have bumps when you get your lips injected.
gluck and keep me posted!

Hi
i had Toesyal kiss injected in my upper lips last december (2009) an had a huge bump within one week. i had to put up with being asked repetitively if had been bitten by a dog on the lip. One month later my doctor injected something to make it go away. never did. Its been over a year now, the lips have gone down, and the bump is still there. (it was a minimal amount injected so were it not for that bump, i doubt it would have been noticed)
i am very upset by this. wanted to share my story. thanks for yours.

I am representing the Anti-aging Clinic in Vancouver, Kerrisdale. Dr Frame has been doing Teosyal Redensity ii treatments for teartrough area for about 5 years now. The nature of fillers that are made from Hyaluaronic acids are that they are naturally accepted in almost all people, without any reaction, besides the common needle side effects such as bruising and swelling. Of course there are more serious side effects listed on their website. However, the concerns here I want to address: wrong product? Every doctor has their own favorite products for particular areas, and there is not necessarily a wrong product. Dr Frame chooses Teosyal Redensity ii, because it is a small molecule, and allows for tears and other movement in the tear duct area to continue to function, and avoid blocking vital functions. He does this in 2 treatments, so as to go slow and not over fill the area.
Hyaluronic acid can be removed, and is in most cases extremely safe.
There can be a lump created because of lumping of product. This should not be a problem to dissolve. The lump could also be an increase in collagen production, that is caused by the stimulation under the skin, caused by the insertion of product. This is a natural process, that cannot be moved, although it is unusual to produce a lump, rather than a thickening of the skin.
The lip area is sensitive. We have seen patients with delicate lips post treatment. Once Hyaluronic acid has been absorbed by the body it should relax and return to normal. Nerves react, and could be damaged from the process; unusual but possible. The lips are delicate, and your doctor should support you to get the nodules and swelling under control.
Nodules have been noticed by some patients who have had the newer Juvederm products, the new vycross crosslinking system can cause nodules, that swell and cause discomfort. This too can be dissolved with hyaluronic acid. All doctors who inject HA's should carry this product. Teosyal is not cross linked with vycross technology. Your doctor should be able to support you with any concerns, with care and sensitivity.
