Can you feel a lip filler?

In most circumstances, you cannot feel a lip filler. Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are both made of hyaluronic acid and feel very soft and natural. Sometimes, it is possible to feel a slight irregularity in some spots even in the best of hands. However, in general, it is usually not a problem. Fat is another filler that can be used for lip augmentation, but it can form granulomas (hard lumps) that can be palpated. Lip implants such as the saline implant can be more palpable. If you... more
