Bubble and Bruising After Juvederm on Lips

I had my lips injected with Juvederm. They look great and I am overall happy with the results. However, I have a "bubble" on my lip that I thought at first was a blister. It isn't a blister after all since it has not changed at all in 3 weeks. Also, my top lip is still bruised after 3 weeks. I have been back to my plastic surgeon to show him my lips and he said he doesn't know what it is. He said he has never seen that with any other patient before.

Don't worry too much after Juvederm on lips

Tlp, Without seeing you it's difficult to answer your question but it sounds like some of the juvederm may simply be a little too superficial under your lips. This can occasionally cause a litle blip like blister. Over time it will go away, or if your surgeon thinks this is the problem he/she may opt to simply open the blister sterily and remove the juvederm there. Please do not do this yourself.
