This morning at 11am I had 1 syringe of volbella to enhance lips, and they looked fine after. Swelling wasn't too bad. Now, there is slight bruising and a very visible lump on the right upper side of lip! I'm so upset...this is my first time having any type of procedure done. My doctor hasn't called back yet so I'm asking for opinions on here please. Is this maybe just swelling and bruise from injection site maybe it will go away or over use of product ? Or something else?
Answer: Lump in lips I would wait a whole two weeks for the lips to settle, since there is a bruise it may be altering the shape from the excess inflammation and fluid accumulation. if it is still present at two weeks you can certainly go back to your injector and have hylauronidase injected to minimize the bump

Answer: Volbella injection this AM left a very noticeable lump Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I am sorry to hear of your difficulties after filler placement but rest assured these symptoms will all get better over the next 10 days. Volbella is a very thin filler and RARELY leads to formation of a lump or bump but it can take up to 2 weeks to soften and the tissues to appear more natural. In the meantime try reducing the swelling by using cold compresses to your lips and elevating your head at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back. You may want to also consider using Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements. Hang in there!

Answer: Lumps after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lumps After Volbella It is very normal and expected to have swelling and bruising after an injection. It would almost be abnormal if there was no swelling or bruising. That visible lump is due to a small bruise. It will subside in about 2-4 days. Applying ice for the first 72 hours, taking Arnica Montana homeopathic pellets, and eating pineapple (Bromelain) will help bring the swelling down and the bruising to subside faster. The lips will completely settle by 2 weeks. So, if there is anything you are not happy about, follow up with your injector 2 weeks after your injection. Good luck and enjoy your beautiful lips!

Answer: Lump after Volbella I am sorry that you are bruised and "lumpy" after filler injections into your lips. I certainly hope your provider made you aware that this is a possibility when needles are put into the lips. The fact that there is a bruise makes me think that the lump is fluid associated with the bruising and that it will likely go away in 5-7 days. You can gently hold ice to the area 4-5 times a day for the first three days in order to help the bruise go away more quickly. In addition, applying arnica cream 4 times daily can help.Volbella is a very thin filler, so lumps are not usually a problem with it. However, if the bruise completely goes away and there is still a lump there, you should certainly follow up with the injector.
