6 days after Juvederm Ultra, noticing a weird line above my upper lip. Should I be concerned? (photos)

Question

i had .5 ml of Juvederm Ultra xc injected out 6 days ago. I just noticed that when I rub my lips together I can see a line that pops out, on top of my upper lip. Is this something I should be worried about? The filler looks great and feels fine, but on the side with the line that pops out, it does feel a lot more firm. I have had zero pain with he injections, and zero bruising. Everything has been perfect I'm just concerned about this weird line.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and I am glad you are happy with your Juvederm results overall. Lines, lumps and swelling are fairly common after injections to the lips and typically resolve within a couple of weeks. If you are still concerned once you hit that two-week mark, contact your injector for a follow-up assessment to determine whether additional treatment is necessary. Good luck to you!

After lip injections swelling and uneven areas can occur.  They typically will resolve within 14 days.  Until that time you can gently massage the area.  If after 14 days you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.
