Massaging Lip After Juvederm Injection

Start immediately to massage the lips to avoid any uneven areas. Juvederm lip augmentation is an excellent option to contour lips. I perform these very often with amazing results. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Hello, thank you for your question.  Light massage is typically permitted by providers following lip injections.  Bruising and swelling is not uncommon up to two weeks after treatment.  At that time, it is appropriate to follow up with your provider to assess your outcome and if a touch up treatment is required.  If filler has settled in an undesirable location or “bumps” are evident your provider to assess to determine if product needs to be dissolved.  Understanding the filler that is placed in lips is paramount for safe outcomes.  Be sure that your provider is using hyaluronic acid fillers as these can be dissolved if necessary and are generally well tolerated by patients.

Hi there! Yes it's a good idea to massage any uneven bumps as soon as possible. If they persist be sure to take follow up with your practitioner for further advice. Best wishes,Dr Rupert

I do prefer my patients to massage the lips in the early stages to smooth out any bumps. I would check with your surgeon though as some vary by this. I am glad you are happy. Nothing better than nice full lips!Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

I recommend that you do not massage the filler as
you do not want to press too hard and/or move the filler into the wrong place. Lumps
and bumps usually resolve on their own, once the filler starts to get
incorporated with your own skin tissue. It would be best if you book a follow
up appointment with your injector in 1-2 weeks, and he/she can massage any
residual lumps or bumps at that time.
