Is There Anything To Reduce Scarring After Lip Filler Injections?

Dear Leabee,


You can try some steroid injections to bring down the lumps

If the bruises turned into scar lumps and the steroids do not work, you can remove them from under the lip

I would suggest seeing a plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person and address all of your concerns

Lumps in the lips following Juvederm injections can be caused by trauma, bleeding or too superficial of an injection.    Injecting the lips is technically challenging.  The goal is an aesthetically pleasing lip and not just a fat or sausage lip.  I usually inject in the white roll of the lip, this is the junction between the skin and the mucosal portion of the lip.  I usually do not inject in to the body of the lip as this can form lumps. Small lumps may just be from the needle trauma.  Vitrase or Wydase can be injected into these areas and will melt the Juvederm lumps in a day or so.
