I received Juvey Ultra + 10 days ago & have big lumps under my lip that I can feel when I'm rubbing my lips together after putting lipstick on. I can feel them rub against my teeth on the inside. Very uncomfortable/painful. I was told to wait 2 weeks & to try & massage but I do not know the proper technique. I don't want to go back to my doctor because I feel he did a bad job. Is there anyone that can tell me how to massage the Juvey or where I can find a video? Anything? Thanks in advance!

Answer: Lumps after Juvederm If you ask 2 doctors you'll probably get 3 different answers on the correct way to massage. Fillers are usually injected at the junction of the white and red part of the lip. If this is where yours was placed, I'd recommend using one finger on the white and one on the red and push gently squeezing the fingers together. This will help direct the filler to the correct area. If the Juvederm was injected into the body of the lip then again using two fingers you should gently massage with one finger out of the mouth and one finger in the mouth. I would avoid pushing very hard as this can lead to a bruise or even a broken blood vessel which can worsen the swelling. If the area remains lumpy and you are not pleased with your result, there is a material that can be injected into the area where filler was placed to remove it. This would unfortunately remove all of the Juvederm you had injected making your initial treatment a complete waste of money but is an option. Any physician who injects fillers should have the material available to inject to remove this one if you did not want to see your previous physician. However, your previous physician would likely not charge you for the solution to remove it whereas another physician likely would.

Answer: Juve Lumps At this point massaging is probably not going to help very much. However, hyluronidase can remove the filler. You need to contact someone who has experience with both fillers and hyluronidase. If you are uncertain where to look, start with the Clinic. Dermatology and Plastic Surgery work together there in their "Institute". jlr
