Is a hard lump after Juvederm in the lips a concern? (Photos)

Question

Had juvederm ultra done a bit over 2 wks ago To lips. Looked great at first and minimal bruising and swelling. Looked perfectly even and symetrical. I have this hard lump on my top R lip That developed a few days ago I also feel it inside my mouth. It shows when i smile with my teeth.do i still have any shot that this is part of the healing process or am i screwed and need to dissolve this and get it redone. Also the lump has like a pearly bluish tint to it if i pull the skin back. Help

Small lumps following injection with dermal fillers that don't resolve with massage can be dissolved if they are of concern to you. Your injector should be able to dissolve just the lump, leaving the rest of your lips and filler alone. The blue-tint is called the "Tyndall Effect", and is common when filler is very close to the skin.

Michelle Ellern, DO · Answer

You likely need to have it dissolved.  If you want to try using a warm compress and trying to massage it first you can and you may have enough improvement with that.  If it does have to be dissolved it may not need to be redone as a small amount can be injected directly into the lump.  Please speak to your injecting physician to discuss your options.
