Are small lumps normal after getting Vollure? 1 day post op had it injected into my lips.

Question

I had one syringe of Vollure in my lips today and I have some small lumps where the needle went in. The anesthetic wore off so I can feel them. Not much to see. Is it just temporary swelling?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your lip augmentation!  Small bumps at the needle insertion sites are not uncommon and should resolve within 24 hours.  Though your lips will maintain swelling for a few days after injection it can take up to 2-4 weeks for them to soften and mature, depending on the amount of material placed.  Hang in there.

Bruising, swelling, sometimes discoloration, lumps, and bumps are normal side effects assuming proper injection. They should be gone in a matter of days. In general, if it continues to feel uncomfortable, consult your doctor to get a complete assessment.

Small lumps after injection are common. You could try gently massage these areas that you are concerned about, gently rolling the lip between your thumb and forefinger while working back and forth over the area that is uneven. You should be able to disperse and mold the Juvéderm to provide improvement. Thank you for your question

Great question.  Small lumps after injections in the lips can occur.  Usually right after the injection your provider would check to see if there are any lumps and smooth out.  I also suggest that patients move their lips together a little as well, once the feeling returns, since there is anesthetic in the Vollure.  If the bumps formed after a few hours or next day that is most likely a bruise/blood which should resolve within 2 weeks.  If they are still there after 2 weeks you should return to your injector to take a look.

Puffiness and bruising can last for a week or longer after filler for lips.  If you still feel bumps in two weeks, please return to your physician for assessment.  The bumps can be smoothed out.
