I had one full syringe of juvederm ultra injected in my upper and bottom lip almost four months ago. i had minor bruising was my lips were very uneven and lumpy so the first couple days i did some massaging. my lips remained EXTREMELY swollen the first 2 weeks. After the swelling went down my lips returned to their normal size but remained lumpy/uneven looking mostly in my upper lip where most of the juvederm was injected. My lips still appear this way almost four months after the injection.
