Can lip injections, Juvederm, cause heavy twitching and muscle spasms in lip?

Thank you for the question. It is not clear what is occurring, because your problem is unusual. Ask you physician about Hyaluronidase. It can be injected into the area to dissolve the Juvederm. Hopefully that resolves your problems. Good luck.

Juvederm should not cause these symptoms, please speak to your dermatologist if you are experiencing them.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. It is unlikely that Juvederm has caused this. However, I recommend having the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. Hopefully this resolves your problem. Best of Luck!

Twitching generally results from neuromuscular irritability. This can be caused by fatigue, caffiene and injury, as from an injection as well as other things.  It is possible that either the needle irritated the nerve during injection or even that the nodule of filler has caused it.  As suggested, a trial of hyaluronidase enzyme into the nodule may help.  Botox has been used for blepharospasm and even time may heal it.  If your injector is unable to help then a neurologist should be consulted.

Seems like more than a coincidence, doesn't it? Ask your injector about hyaluronidase to get rid of the Juvederm. If he doesn't do it, find someone who does. If the twitching goes away, you've got your answer. If it doesn't, the injection may have injured a nerve. If that turns out to be the case, you should probably see a neurologist.        jlr

The short answer is highly unlikely but this needs to be investigaged fully. Muscles spasms of the face can be caused by something as simple as stress but also a tumor. A specialist needs to evaluate you.

This is very rare but I suppose if there is a nodule and the twitching seems to emanate for that area it could be related.   See your doctor and have a very tiny amount of enzyme injected to eliminate the twitch and nodule.    My Best,  Dr C
