I had my lips augmented with hyaluronic 48h ago, and have bumps in my lips since. I massaged my upper lip and there is only one bump left, visible when smiling. My lower lip seems to have the injection split on two sections: empty middle and on both sides there are many lumps. Should I massage them more? How hard should I press? There is still some swelling which leaves my lips goodlooking while you cannot really see the lumps, but I'm concerned they will be visible after the swelling is gone.
Answer: Lip bumps after lip augmentation may or may not resolve with massage. Consider sitting tight for all of your lip swelling to go down since your photo shows a pleasing lip appearance. If you have visible bumps, your doctor should be able to address your concerns. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph

Answer: Lip filler lumps Lip filler bumps is fairly common after filler. The bumps can occur early on and many settle down. Although massage after filler is considered a mainstay, beware that massage can drive the filler into another location if done too early.

Answer: Bumps and lumps after lip injections, should I massage them out? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. It is difficult this early after your injections to know if the lumps will remain once your swelling resolves. In general it is best to allow at least 2-3 weeks to pass over which most small bumps will soften and dissolve. If there are particular areas of concern, see your injector for an in-person evaluation and reassurance.

Answer: I never recommend that you adjust your own lips or any treatment for that matter. Don't simply massage your lips because these doctors should not be making such a recommendation to you. You are swollen. It is impossible to know at this moment what is swelling and what is fullness from too much product. If you "massage" your lip you will simply be further traumatizing the lip and possibly moving the product out of the lip edge which will harm your long term result. Massage does not "destroy" filler but it certainly can affect the result of a treatment. You should continue to let the lips settle down and any irregularies present a week after the service should be carefully adjusted by your injector. If you are seeing an issue at that point and your injector is not seeing your issue, you have the wrong injector.

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Like Juvederm, Volbella, Restylane -- Use Hyaluronidase, Wait 2 Weeks Massaging may help, and swelling is definitely normal post injection. If the bumps haven't gone away in a few more days, I'd suggest consulting with your injector to discuss the results. If necessary, the hyaluronic acid may be dissolved to get rid of the bumps.
