Lip fibrosis is an increasingly common condition, especially after the use of dermal fillers. It manifests as tissue stiffening, the appearance of painful lumps, and limited natural mobility of the lips. The process is often considered irreversible, and traditional interventions may involve invasive procedures.
How Fibrosis Develops After Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances (such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, etc.) used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, or contour the lips and face. While aesthetic results are immediate, they can sometimes provoke local reactions that alter tissue structure:
- Inflammation and tissue reaction – The tissue perceives the filler as a foreign body, which can stimulate fibrous tissue formation.
- Repeated injections – Each puncture in the tissue stimulates the fibrosis process; the more procedures are repeated, the greater the stiffness of the lips.
- Filler residues – Molecules that are not fully dissolved or that migrate can contribute to granuloma formation or fibrotic areas.
- Secondary fibrosis after dissolving – Procedures to dissolve filler with hyaluronidase can paradoxically trigger fibrosis, as they stimulate the tissue.
The result is fibrotic lips, with a hardened texture and reduced mobility, a phenomenon that can be addressed with non-invasive methods.
The Role of Fascia in Lip Healing
Fascia is connective tissue that envelops and connects body structures. Fascial restrictions can limit tissue mobility, affect lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, and contribute to inflammation and pain.
A fascial approach through CranioSacral Therapy and Osteopathy allows:
- Release of local tension in the lips
- Support for lymphatic drainage and blood circulation
- Restoration of tissue mobility and elasticity
- Stimulation of natural fascial regeneration and reduction of granulomas
Patient Testimony
The patient came to the therapy session after reading that she could get rid of lip fibrosis using fascial therapies. She had her lips injected with premium-quality hyaluronic acid, then chose to dissolve it through two procedures. After the two dissolutions with hyaluronidase, she was left with hard and painful granulomas. The dissolution removes about 80% of the filler, with the rest typically requiring surgical intervention.
Patient’s testimony two days after the therapy:
„When I asked you if we could release the fascia in the lip area, you were very open, even though this is not a common service in Romania. Worldwide, there are only a few craniosacral therapy practitioners who work post-hyaluronic acid injections. Well, my review is that after 2 days, I got rid of the granulomas and the tissue no longer hurts at all; I can feel nothing in it. After you worked on the fascia, those accumulations completely cleared. I have my baby-soft lips again, just like before the injections. I did not expect the body to be so responsive to release. It is a procedure of the future, considering the extent of dermal fillers, which never remain as placed and require repeated reinjections. The best solution for me was clearly dissolving, and without your help, I would have remained “marked” by this trend. Thank you!”

This experience demonstrates that fascial tissue has an extraordinary capacity for regeneration and can respond positively to gentle, non-invasive methods.
Conclusions
Lip fibrosis is an increasingly common issue in the context of dermal filler use. Although often considered irreversible, fascial approaches provided by CranioSacral Therapy and Osteopathy can reduce pain, eliminate granulomas, and restore tissue elasticity, avoiding invasive procedures.
This is an emerging field with major potential for natural healing, worth exploring as the number of affected individuals grows.
Invitation to Therapy
If you have undergone aesthetic procedures, filler injections, or other interventions that have altered your body tissues, fascial therapy through CranioSacral Therapy and Osteopathy can help:
- Reduce fibrosis and granulomas
- Release fascial tension and restrictions
- Restore natural tissue mobility and elasticity
This approach is not limited to the lips or face—it can be applied to the entire body, supporting recovery and tissue health in areas affected by aesthetic interventions.
Discover how your body can respond positively to gentle, non-invasive methods and experience complete fascial healing for natural and lasting recovery.
