I'm freaking out, don't get me wrong my lips looks great when I'm not talking but when I talk I have two very visible bumps my lip

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  In the first 2-3 weeks after filler placement you may see some small lumps and bumps from the filler material that will eventually absorbs water and smooth out.  I know waiting is difficult but allow your results more time to mature. If after three weeks you have seen little improvement, have your injector dissolve the filler material.  Best wishes.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I didnt see any before pics so i must so i dont know what your lips looked like before the injections. I see some swelling but I honestly do not think your lips look that bad. I would strongly recommend waiting several weeks before doing anything.  I am not familiar with " princess valium" filler . However almost all fillers used on the lips are Hyaluronic Acid products that can be reversed Hyaluronidase.  There is usually an extra cost to use the Hyaluronidase.  If after waiting a few weeks still are unhappy then return to the doctor / surgeon who put the filler in and discuss having the product removed. Best, Dr Wright.

Thank you for your question. It can take up to 2 weeks for all swelling and bumps to resolve after lip injections. You can gently massage the bumps to help smooth them out. If after 2 weeks if the bumps are still present or you are unhappy with results you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend having a follow up with your injector in 2 weeks for an evaluation. Best of Luck!

Some patients can develop temporary swellings and "bumps" immediately after lip augmentation. These usually resolve in 10-14 days and we suggest gentle massage to soften such bumps. If they still persist, such bumps could be potentially dissolved with a special enzyme, hyaluronidase if your doctor used one of the standard hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm or Restylane or Belotero). Typically your treating physician should not charge you for dissolving such bumps, but of course, if you wanted to see another physician for such a consultation, additional fees could be involved. Best of luck!

It takes about 2 weeks for the product to settle in your lips.  If you are still experiencing bumps in your lips it is an easy fix with some hyaluronidase.  You may also try to massage the area and that alone may solve the problem.  Try not to worry and return to your injector to discuss your concerns.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

It takes about 10 days for lips to settle from injections. If they are still lumpy, they can be fixed with hyaluronidase to dissolve it. Gentle massage is possible before that time to try to smooth things out.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Lip Injections can be swollen or have lumps for a week or more after the injections.  I would wait two weeks and if you still have lumps you should return to your treating physician for examination to dissolve the product.  Please consult an expert in lip injections for the best cosmetic results.  Best, Dr. Green
