Hyaluron Lumps in the Lip: What to Do?

After a lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid or other fillers, small lumps or hardenings can form in the lip. These often appear immediately after the treatment or develop within a few days. Most lumps are harmless and disappear over time. Nevertheless, they can be uncomfortable or impair the aesthetic result.

Why Do Lumps Form after a Hyaluronic Acid Treatment?

Several factors can lead to the formation of lumps after lip augmentation:

  • Uneven distribution of the filler: If the filler is not injected evenly into the lip, small clumps can form.
  • Swelling and inflammation: The body reacts to the procedure with a natural inflammatory response, which can cause temporary lumps.
  • Incorrect injection technique: An unclean technique or injecting too large quantities in one spot can cause lumps.
  • Firm or inferior fillers: Some fillers have a thicker consistency or are poorly broken down by the body, which can lead to hardening.
  • Capsule formation or granulomas: In rare cases, the body forms connective tissue around the filler, which can lead to permanently palpable lumps that are uncomfortable for the patient.

Lumps usually appear in the first few days after the injection. Some people only notice them after a few weeks. This is because the filler moves over time and distributes itself in the facial tissue.

How to Treat Lumps in the Lip

The treatment of lumps in the lip can be done in various ways, depending on the severity and cause of the nodules. One option is the use of hyalase, an enzyme that can dissolve hyaluronic acid. If the lumps are caused by an excess of hyaluronic acid, the injection of hyalase can be an effective solution. However, this treatment should only be performed by an experienced doctor to minimize the risk of side effects.

In some cases, simple observation may also be sufficient, as many lumps disappear on their own after a few weeks. Patients should take care not to put excessive strain on their lips during aftercare and to watch out for possible swelling. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a doctor again to discuss further treatment options and find an individual solution.

Preventing Lumps after Lip Augmentation

To minimize the risk of lump formation, the following measures help:

  • Choose an experienced practitioner: An experienced doctor with expertise in injection technique is important to avoid complications.

  • Use high-quality fillers: High-quality and well-tolerated hyaluronic acid products reduce the risk of hardening and promote the aesthetic result.

  • Proper aftercare: Avoid pressure on the lips, intense cold or heat, and excessive movement directly after the treatment.

  • Gentle massage at the first signs of lumps: If small hardenings are palpable, a gentle massage can help to distribute the substance better.

  • Follow aftercare instructions: Adhere to the recommendations of our doctors. In the first 24 hours after the treatment, the lip should be spared. Strong rubbing or pressing can lead to lumps.

  • Drink enough water: Hyaluronic acid binds water and ensures an aesthetic fullness in the face. Sufficient fluid intake can help to distribute the filler better

"Lumps in the lip after lip augmentation are usually harmless and often resolve on their own, which is reassuring for the patient. If the discomfort persists or pain occurs, targeted treatment may be necessary. Choosing an experienced practitioner and proper aftercare are crucial to minimize the risk. Those who are well-informed and follow the recommendations can enjoy the desired result without complications."
