Bumps after Juvederm
Juvederm is a clear gel, and is commonly injected into the lips. This is likely the natural appearance of the skin of your lips, it is simply now more visible since the lips have been augmented.

Bumps on lips after injection
We all have sebaceous glands in our lips. It is a natural occurrence and they are there for a reason. They may look a little yellow to white in color and be smooth to the touch. Although this is most likely just the natural texture of your lips being pushed to the surface by the filler, it is always wise to discuss your result with the physician or nurse who initially injected you.
They can then decide if the bumps are normal or if it is something that needs to be addressed. If the spots...

Juvederm and white bumps on the lips
These whitish-yellow bumps are normal sebaceous glands called Fordyce spots. Your Juvederm filler has made them more obvious. There is no treatment for these glands. Some days they may seem more apparent than others, but they are normal.
