Nodules following treatment of filler are commonly categorized as inflammatory or noninflammatory in origin. If you smoke or take blood thinners, you’ll be asked to stop doing so before the surgery. If you have oral herpes, you may also be asked to take antiviral medications. Surgical steps

Additionally, during the production of HA filler products, stabilization through a cross-linking process occurs, which allows the product to be resistant to natural hyaluronidases. Over time, the breakdown and byproducts of the cross-linked material may induce a host inflammatory response. Antibiotics (quinolones) and NSAIDs: no effect, oral prednisone+hydroxychloroquine (400mg/d): nodules resolvedLee JM, Kim YJ. Foreign body granulomas after the use of dermal fillers: pathophysiology, clinical appearance, histologic features, and treatment. Arch Plast Surg. 2015;42(2):232-239. doi:10.5999/aps.2015.42.2.232 HA fillers are temporary and last between six to twelve months. To maintain results, you will need to repeat the treatment periodically.

In 1997, silicone injections were re-introduced for soft-tissue applications such as filling the lips, cheeks, wrinkles, furrows, and acne scars.IntroductionLip augmentation with dermal filler is rising in popularity. There are generally minimal side effects that are mild and transient. However, long-term complications may occur and include lumps, bumps, nodules, or granulomas. To better understand this uncommon but challenging outcome, we aim to perform a thorough systematic review of the published literature related to nodule or granuloma formation after cosmetic soft tissue augmentation of the lips. Batniji RK, et al. (2002). Tissue response to expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and silicone implants in a rabbit model.

Restylane was the most common HA filler used in our reported cases. One explanation of this finding may be due to the rheological properties (i.e., cohesion) or processing technologies of the fillers. Popular Restylane products for lip augmentation are non-animal HA, while Juvéderm uses Hylacross and Vycross cross-linking technologies. An experienced provider can administer HA fillers in minute quantities to make precise and symmetric adjustments. HA fillers also have a reversal agent in case the results are not satisfactory. Some lip fillers are permanent, such as liquid silicone, a synthetic polymer. These types of fillers are not FDA-approved for lip augmentation, and much controversy surrounds using them for this purpose. Silicone fillers cannot be dissolved, nor completely removed surgically. Treatment is typically a long and difficult process as the silicone absorbs into the lip muscle and skin. How to Remove Lip Fillers Fast Some people may be tempted to try lip filler injections at home to save on professional fees. This is highly dangerous and can lead to a host of complications including infections and poor aesthetics. Only a qualified medical professional should give dermal filler injections. Cost Sanchis-Bielsa et al described a nodule with associated swelling that partially resolved with oral steroids (30–90mg/day) for 10 to 15 days.Juvederm and Restylane are comparable in terms of effect, safety and longevity, and can generally be used for the same indications. Candidates In our cases, microscopic examination of the nodules confirmed the presence of HA years following treatment, indicating failure in the degradation process. A subsequent delayed foreign-body tissue reaction to biofilm could have been elicited in the months or years following initial injection. More permanent lip augmentation options such as implants or fat transfer are more difficult to reverse or correct. Side Effects and Risks

ResultsThe initial search for filler-related nodules or granulomas yielded 2,954 articles and 28 were included in the final analysis containing 66 individual cases of lip nodules. All but one patient was female. The mean age was 50 years. Nodules presented on average 35.2 months or 2.9 years after initial treatment. Thirty-seven nodules underwent histological analysis, the majority of which identified the presence of a foreign-body granuloma. Silicone was the most reported filler used followed by hyaluronic acid. Most cases resolved following multiple treatments including oral antibiotics or steroids followed by surgical excision.

Ann Chir Plast Esthet. 2007 Apr;52(2):157-61. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16860452 Many patients were initially treated with nonoperative methods such as NSAIDs, antibiotics, and systematic and/or intralesional steroids. Laser therapy has also been successfully used. Treatment costs for silicone lip filler will depend on the specific treatment you receive, the number of treatments and the condition of your lips. Takeaway Collagen is a natural compound that can be used as a lip filler. However, the collagen used in soft tissue fillers is extracted from animals, which poses a risk of allergic and inflammatory reactions. An allergy test is necessary before receiving collagen injections.Additionally, more reports of Restylane may be published as it was Food and Drug Administration-approved and more widely used earlier than Juvéderm and Belotero. In our cases, granuloma formation was more likely found in the upper lip compared with the lower lip, which may be due to the fact that the upper lips are more commonly treated. While our review includes studies involving granuloma formation following the use of calcium hydroxyl apatite and PLLA, current standard practice does not use these products. Most modern lip fillers are based on hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural compound that is abundantly found in body tissues. HA is used as a soft tissue filler in many areas of the body and has demonstrated safety and efficacy as a lip filler. Brody, H. J.
