I received Restylane Lyft in my lips four days ago, and yesterday, I noticed these clusters of white bumps at the injection sites. I have reached out to my injector, who says they are my glands which sometimes appear with enhancement. She said they can’t massage out, and they *might* go away once swelling completely goes down. Three weeks ago, I had 1/2 a vial injected, but after swelling, I wanted her to do more. These bumps weren’t present. I had her do another 1/2 and these spots appeared.

Hi and thank you for your question! Having lumps following lip injection is quite common and while most are related to swelling and go away within 2 weeks, lumps persisting beyond that (for 4 weeks like your cases) are more likely to be filler itself and they can be best treated with injection...
