HYALURONIC ACID NODULES
Treatment of Granuloma Nodules
The lumps or granuloma nodules that appear on infiltrated lips can be eliminated either by destroying the product with the product's antagonist (if it is hyaluronic acid); or through a small surgical excision, just as if it were a small cyst and with 2 or 3 stitches it is removed, leaving the small mark inside the mucosa. The stitches are removed in 7 days and are left without irregularities.
Sometimes the laser can be used to destroy that granuloma nodule; In other situations, and through knowledge of the product we are dealing with, it can be extracted through direct puncture and aspiration of the filling.
The procedure takes between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of nodules.
There may be mild discomfort, which disappears within 24 to 48 hours. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activity for the first two days.
Granuloma Nodule Removal, How is it Performed?
Treatment for the removal of nodule granulomas is an outpatient procedure that does not require hospitalization in most cases.
Once the problem has been identified, treatment may involve injections, such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation or hyaluronidase in the case of hyaluronic acid-derived granulomas. These injections are performed in the same office and are quick, precise, and virtually painless.
In all cases, treatment is designed to be as minimally invasive as possible and ensure that the patient can quickly return to their daily activities.
Hyaluronic Acid Nodule Care
