It is 3 1/2 days after I had Juvederm, and I have a number of bumps on my top lip that create an uneven line when my mouth is open (in addition to discoloration). I also have one large lump on one side of my lower lip. Is this a common result? Will it go away? I am really regretting that I had this done and wondering about the enzyme that can be used to dissolve it. Will it cause another round of swelling/bruising?
Answer: Lips after lip augmentation Hi there!I always suggest a period of 7-10 days to allow for any residual swelling or bruising to settle which certainly can cause visible lumps and asymmetry. In the case these persist beyond this time frame please contact the practioner who performed the procedure for further assessment. Hyaluronic acid based dermal filler is reversible. There is an enzyme called hyaluronidase that breaks down the product. I hope this helps!Best wishes,Dr Rupert

Answer: Lumps in lips after 3 days It really repends on what filler was used and where in the lips it was injected. Injecting the wrong filler for the lips or injecting too superficially can cause lumpiness. Sometimes however, even a suitable filler injected in the right place results in small amounts of the filler migrating through the lip structures to the surface of the lips causing this type of lumpiness. I note it’s only been 31/2 days so there is a chance any lumpiness may still be a result of swelling or some deep bruising. I suggest massaging your lip for the next few days with clean hands. If it doesn’t settle an experienced practitioner can dissolve the fillers with Hyaluronidase and start again. It’s not ideal but at least it gives you some peace of mind that things can be fixed.

Answer: Lumps after juvederm The lumpiness immediately after juvederm is generally temporary and is related to swelling and bruising that will improve dramatically over the month following injection. Anytime that you use a needle to deliver a medication there can be a small amount of bleeding and bruising that you can feel in the area and that is especially true in the lips. I always try to explain to patients that this can occur in the first few days or weeks after an injection and it generally improves dramatically in the first 2-4 weeks after a procedure. I would not recommend getting any hyaluronidase injected until at least 6 weeks afterwards because you will almost always smooth out before then. Best of luck on your recovery.

Answer: Bumps after lip filler Lip filler bumps is fairly common after filler. The bumps can occur early on and many settle down. Although massage after filler is considered a mainstay, beware that massage can drive the filler into another location if done too early. Reasons for bumps after filler: Technique- Filler may have been used too superficially or wrong type of filler Mouth movements- In some patients their movements can promote the accumulation of bumps and an alternative technique can be advocated. Treating lip filler bumps: Observation +/- massage- Should be done for almost all lip filler bumps for 2 weeks. For our patients we usually advocated massage after 48-72 hours to let the filler settle into place. Reversal- A reversal agent can be used such as Vitrase to dissolve the filler if there is a large obvious persistent bump Additional filler- An expert filler injector can used improved technique to mask the lip bumps. The application of lip filler is very technical and should be done by an expert injector.

Answer: Juvederm results This does not sound like a typical reaction. My expectation after treating lips is that they are smooth and feel natural. I would recommend that you follow up with your injector for further evaluation.
