The gel form of Restylane and Juvederm, these can be used in the lips very safely and they should not ball up. If you are getting balls up in there, there is something wrong with the injection. Now certainly you can get a bruise and that can feel like a little ball but that should go away in a week or so.

The best fillers for the lips are those that are soft , pliable, and temporary. Those currently available and that work beautfuly for the lips are: "Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, and Perlane." These are all different formulations of "hyaluronic acids," which come in a soft gel form. Depending on how much of an enhancement is needed, your Plastic Surgeon will select the appropriate formulation. It is CRITICAL that your injecting physician undertsands the proper lip aesthetics and balance between the borders, upper vs. lower lip, and the role that surrounding muscles play in the lip (mouth) aging process. Sometimes, if my patients are in the operating room for something else, then I offer them the choice of having their own fat cells transferred to different areas of the face (such as the lips and cheeks) to restore the youthful volume of the face.
