Juvederm Hard Pumps and Uneven?

I had my Juvederm inected into my lips 2 weeks ago, returning for a follow up to correct the right side of my lip one week ago. On my top lip there are 4 ridges basically in the same spot on both sides. The middle section of my top lip sort of droops down and is causing quite a sever ridge next to the centre on the left (however there is signs of a bruise and the lump is relatively hard ) I am very concerned and unhappy about my results however i do not want to undergo anymore swelling or down time.

Juvederm ridges

Ridges can happen from any filler. It seems like you had vertical wrinkles filled in. In the lip the best approach is to spread the Juvederm as a carpet underlay in the skin part. Trying to fill individual vertical lines is tricky, it can work but also can give raised areas. Solution: Get hyaluronidase to absorb the material and then later get it done properly and conservatively by someone with a lot of experience in lip injections. Regards Dr. J Disclaimer:... more

Lip Bumps after Juvederm

Lip bumps after Juvederm can be massaged early after treatment. Enzymatic degrading is the next step, followed by reinjection, if necessary.

Bumps and uneven lips after Juvederm?

Juvederm is a great product for lips however the results can only be as good as the injector. If it is injected unevenly you will not be happy with the results. But there are things that can be done to correct the unevenness. I suggest you see someone you trust, who has a great deal of experience to correct your lips. Don't despair, It may be easier than you think!

Juvederm bumps and uneven lip

Juvederm or any other filler for that matter can cause lumps and bumps in the skin (especially the lips), but this is actually a remote side effect when the injection is performed by a highly trained and experienced physician such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Best to return to your doctor for a reassessment and consideration of hyaluronidase to dissolve the lump.

Negative result following Juvederm treatment

Sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing following your treatment. Lumps are a possible side effect of lip augmentation with Juvederm. I would recommend visiting the physician who performed your injections for a follow up. He or she can dissolve the filler with the enzyme hyaluronidase if necessary. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Lumps and asymmetry after hyaluranic acid injections

Palpable areas after any hyaluronic acid injection are not uncommon. Bruising and swelling typically does not last longer than two weeks. The beauty of a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm, is that it can easily be dissolved with and enzyme called hyaluronidase if you are not satisfied and do not want to attempt another correction by your practioner. I recommend visiting a office with a board certified dermatologist or board certified plastic surgeon for... more

Juvederm hard bumps and unevenness

Most of what you are describing, without of course seeing or feeling it, sounds like injection technique. Sometimes there can be pockets of filler that can feel hard if that's how the filler was injected, but these can be easily dissolved with a bit of hyaluronidase, which shouldn't cause much swelling or bruising. Fillers are not done the same way by every injector - this is what makes it an art! For instance, some injectors will use a fan technique, some a threading technique, some a... more

Juvederm Bumps?

Hi Kabreana. Without pictures and/or the ability to feel the bumps it's hard to make a recommendation. It seems that the "ridges" are the major concern so you should go back in for a checkup with your injector to discuss the issue.

Juvederm in the lips is an advanced technique

I am sorry to hear about your issues. As mentioned below, it is truly hard to offer feedback without having the opportunity to see and feel what you are talking about. I can tell you in my opinion that Juvederm in the lips is slightly more advanced and should be a procedure that only a physician such as board certified dermatologist, or plastic surgeon should do. Have you returned to your treating provider to discuss these issues? If you did not see someone that has the training above, that... more
