I got Juvederm filler in October 2018 & noticed small bumps in my upper lip. I returned to the doctor who did the work & he dissolved the bumps only for them to return again a few weeks later. He has tried getting rid of them by physically puncturing them with a needle & removing the filler as well but they always seem to return. He says that it is just the way my tissue is-thinner in certain areas, causing the filler to pool up in certain spots. Has anyone experienced this before?

A steroid injection by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon may help improve the area that concerns you. After five years this area is likely scar tissue which can be treated with steroids. Be sure to discuss what you can expect in terms of results with your physician.
Hello and thank you for the question. At this point, you should be seeing the final results of your lip filler treatment, so if you are unhappy with your outcome, it may be time to schedule a follow-up appointment. You can see your original injector or another board-certified dermatologist for...
I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having. From your description it sounds as if you are having a reaction to the filler. At this point you may consider having the product dissolved with hyaluronidase. See an expert injector to discuss this further.
