New vertical creases adjacent to Jowel lines 9 days after lip filler injections. Will they go away? (photos)

Question

10 days after lip filler and I have a vertical crease in each side of my upper lip adjacent to my Jowel lines. I don't want to get more filler or anything else done. I never had them before or after previous filler injections I'm absolutely freaking out. Will they go away has this ever happened to anyone else ? It seems under them are little lumps and the filler area there is quite lumpy in my lip when I feel it. Please help!!

It appears as though the lip creases you describe are evident in the before photo. The lip creases do become more dramatic with the lip filler. Your options would be to dissolve the product or wait until it naturally wears away. If you have "lumps" I recommend visiting your injector for further instruction/ massage. Best,

Juvederm is a great product and it appears that you do have lumps from the filler being placed too high.  I would advise you to return to your treating physician to have Hyaluronidase injected to dissolve these lumps.  For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience with Juvederm.
