This is my 2nd time getting Juvederm lip injections. I waited over a year to get my 2nd injection because the 1st one lasted over a year (and I only got 1/2 vile). The 1st time around I had 2 bumps on the top lip took a year to heal/dissolve. I went 4 days ago and got another 1/2 vile and I have even more bumps and am worried I will be stuck with them for a year. Is this just a bad job by my doc? will I get charged to have it fixed/dissolved? I don't want them around for a year like last time.

Bumps on lip

Since you are just 4 days out - it's a little early to tell the final result. Massage and wait about a week for the post-injection swelling to get better. If, after several weeks, the bumps are still there, you may want to have them injected with hyaluronidase, to dissolve the filler and get rid of the bumps. All the best,

Melting Juvederm

You should talk to your doctor about injecting Vitrase to dissolve the Juvederm bumps. The Vitrase works almost instantly and is very effective against all HA products (Juvederm, Restylane, etc). Good Luck.

Bumps on Lips Following Juvederm

I suggest you massage the lips right now because you're only 4 days after injection. You can mold the Juvederm with firm pressure. If they persist, hyaluronidase injections will help by dissolving the bumps.

Bumps on lips from Juvederm

Even in the best of hands bumps from Juvederm injections are possible but 6 bumps does sound a bit excessive! You should ask to have the Juvederm removed by injecting an enzyme called hyaluronidase that will quickly dissolve it in whichever areas it needs to be removed. In my opinion, there should be no charge for this service. In the future, please remember your results depend upon the skill and experience of your physician injector. Look for someone with as much experience as possible and... more

Juvederm bumps

These do not look like bruises in photo but if feel tender, give it another week before running in to dissolve. If not tender then these might just be :lumps". Go back to doctor and see what he/she says about them and if you are not happy , have them dissolved. I doubt that you will be charged.
