Swelling is not uncommon after Juvederm injections

Nissan Pilest, MD answers: Lower lip asymmetry and lumps after Juvederm

My cosmetic surgeon injected about 25% of 1 the syringe of Juvederm into my lower lip. About 5 hours after the injections, the swelling in my lower lip went down completely--it looked the same as it did before. This morning (13 hours after) my lips were so swollen that I had to call in sick to work. My lower lip is very swollen on the right side only. I have tried massaging it, but a noticeable lump remains in the lip and in the area between my lower lip and chin 24 hours later. Why does happen and will this go away? Please advise. Thanks.

Following Juvederm injections we see some swelling that generally disappear in 5-7days.

However, if this is a large lump it could represent a hematoma, which may have to be drained by your doctor.

So it is best to go see your physician injector to check this as well as try to make the lip symmetrical.
