Will lumps in lips 7 months after lip fillers done resolve on its own? (Photos)

Question

Got lip fillers 7 mo. ago and still have hard lumps on outside of bottom lip and inner part of top. I was advised by the practitioner to massage the lips which i did and still do, but these aren't going away. I'm wondering will these resolve on its own with time and if not, is there any alternative to filler reversal injections? Also injecting the fillers was very painful but i was told it is because my lips were too small and that I'm too sensitive. Did smth go wrong here or i need to wait more?

Fillers can swell and migrate unpredictably, especially when a filler with a high-edema quotient is used in thin areas. Our office uses disciplined approaches to help patients with acute or chronic issues related to hyaluronic acid fillers. We begin by assessing for any tissue compromise and advocate early treatment to avoid complications with vascular occlusion. In chronic issues, it is important to gradually break up and dissolve filler so there is no further migration of loose filler substrate. Conservative staged dilution may also help avoid volume loss. If the filler is not dissolving, we may consider stronger concentrations or surgery.
