I first got juvederm about 3 years ago and it created a bump on the upper, side of my lip. I had it dissolved and my lips redone, but the lump never went away. When I went in for my touch up I was unhappy with how high above my lips the filler traveled and that I still had the bump; I dissolved upper lips again. Lump was still there, so I dissolved again.
