Can Juvederm be felt under the lips?

 I do a lot of Juvederm injections, and I have Juvederm in my lips. It is a great product. It is really soft, much softer than Restylane, and  it should not look or feel like a wire.

It all depends on the injection is done.  After a couple of weeks you should not really be able to tell where the injections were placed.  In certain occasion, if the injection becomes a bit too superficial you will be able to see the injection though. Good luck.
