I just had Juvederm for a lip filler. The swelling has gone down and now I have two big lumps and one small lump on my top lip. I've been massaging them and it doesn't seem to be working. It's very noticible, especially when I smile. It's also very uncomfortable. What can be done to fix this problem??
Answer: Hard Lumps in Lips after Filler Hi and thank you for your question! Having lumps and bumps during the first few days after filler in lips is common. Even though you indicated that the swelling has gone down, it can still persist for up to two weeks and you shouldn't do anything until the residual swelling is completely gone. If what you see is indeed swelling (very likely), massaging it might actually slow the healing process. Please keep an eye on it and as long as all you see is just painless swelling, allow two weeks and at that time if issues exist, please see your physician for reassessment and revision if needed. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Lumps after Lip Augmentation I'm not sure when you had your injections. It can take 1-2 weeks for final results. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.I hope this helps!

Answer: Lumps after lip augmentation Deaer firefly1754,Juvederm has significant swelling post injection. I would follow up with you plastic surgeon but typically I tell all my patients to wait a full two weeks. Generally at 2 weeks they are happy and glad they didn't dissolve. Dissolving is unpredictable as well.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Lumps after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) I'm not sure when you had your injections. There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Do not massage! Hi,Thanks for the question!Sorry to hear there are some issues. I suggest stop massaging as you can irritate your tissues. Please contact your physician and this can be an easy fix by injecting some low dose dissolving enzyme to soften the lumps.Hope this helps!
