Lumps on lips after Juvederm

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?

Just by the nature of the process, lumps can... more
