How Common Are Bumps Around the Mouth Area with Juvederm?

I had Juvederm injections for smile lines and a bit of volume loss around the corners of my mouth on July 1, 2008. To be honest, I don't see the improvement that so many talk about. Maybe it will take more time, but I'm actually less confident about my mouth area than before due to lumps and lines that weren't there before. As I gently feel around both sides of my mouth, there's more than one lump on either side and they are visible. I am very embarrassed to go out in public thinking everyone is staring at my bumps wondering what they are. My doctor told me not to touch them for 48 hours and that will be up this afternoon. I'll be calling her, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and had a good outcome. I could use some encouraging words right now.

Being that cosmetic dermal fillers are one of the few cosmetic treatments that offer an immediate... more

Lumps from juvederm

Funny, I usually tell my patient that if they feel lumps early after injection that they can massage them out a bit to flatten them and even out the area. This can be done over the first few days, but after that time the product will more than likely not be able to be molded.
