I recently had 1ml of juvederm between both lips. I had a small amount of swelling, just a bruised lump on my lower lip. 6 days on my bottom lip is still sore and I have what can only be described as pouches below my lower lip.They weren't this obvious straight after the procedure, I did have these when my lips were thin but never to this extreme. Is it still swollen? Thanks

Answer: Swelling After Fillers, Wait 2 weeks and Reverse If Unhappy
Thank you for sharing your question. Your doctor is correct that you've had an unusual experience with fillers in the lips. There are thicker versions of the products you have already tried. There is also the option of fat grafting. See another doctor for a second opinion.Good luck,
Thank you for sharing your question. Injection of Hyaluronidase into the area of Juvederm will dissolve the product. Massaging the injected tissue might help to some extent. Make sure experienced doctors perform all procedures.Good luck,
Lumps from Juvederm cannot be permanent. They can be easily dissolved with Vitrase which will reduce the filler in a matter of days. Please consult an expert. Perhaps Restylane or Belotero would be a better filler for you. Best, Dr. Green
