I was injected with what i was told was Juvederm at a friends house( i know that was a bad idea now) by someone who claimed to be an “injector”(again,i know bad idea) and she gave me 3 CCs into my top and bottom lip over the course of 3 visits in 2 months. That was 3 years ago and all i have now are hard discolored lumps. I’m afraid she gave me something other than juvederm but I’m not sure if there’s any way to tell.

Answer: Juvederm Hello there! I have seen Juvederm last longer than a year in patients. I would highly recommend consulting with an expert injector in regards to this. There is a substance on the market that can dissolve or "reverse filler". I would recommend getting this reversed. It may take several applications for this to be fully corrected, and even after several, you may still have issues remaining. If this is not a hyaluronic acid, it will not reverse, and steps will need to be taken to remove it manually. Good luck to you! Sarah RN BSN

Answer: Lumps in Lip This most likely was not Juvederm that was injected. Juvederm lasts on average 6 months so it is highly unlikely there would still be Juvederm left over 3 years later. I recommend a consultation with an experienced provider. Hyaluronidase may be used if it is an HA filler or Kenalog injections if it is some kind of ganulomatous reaction.
