Lumps on Lips After Juvederm

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?

Juvaderm lip lumpiness: observation & treatment

Lumpy lips after Juvederm

It's still a short time after your procedure. If your lumps are still present 10 days afterwards then go back and see your doctor. In the meantime, gentle massage in the lumpy areas may help, but you should definitely contact your doctor in the meantime. With regard to the enzyme that dissolves the Juvederm (it's called hyaluronidase), it rarely needs to be used since the Juvederm is absorbed by your body over the next 6-9 months. It's very difficult to use that product since you... more

First give it time

3 1/2 days is too early to start being concerned about lumps in the lips after filler treatment. This is injection of a gel into an area of muscle covered by a thin layer of soft tissue (fatty layer under the skin), then skin and mucosa (the red part of the lip). Just by the nature of the process, lumps can occur since it is impossible to actually layer a uniform amount of filler across the lips. The filler is injected in aliquots, then massaged to make it as smooth as possible. Some of the... more
