Having a cigarette after lip augmentation should not cause a lip bump. One should give approximately 10 to 14 days after the treatment. If the bump does not disappear, one should have a follow up with their treating physician.

Marek Kacki, MD says:

It is not to your benefit, aesthetically and medically, to have a massive filler overload, particularly in the lips! It is certainly not your fault but the injector's. It can be corrected quite easily. Suggestion - change your injector!!! Good luck!
