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.

Thanks for sharing your concern. I would recommend returning to your injector and getting all the filler dissolved using hyaluronidase. This may take a series of treatments. It is hard to tell without an in person evaluation if filler remains, but I would definitely rule out that option and...
Yes, it is safe to use the same syringe on the same patient to inject two different locations. Be sure to discuss your treatment goals with your injector. One half syringe of filler for the lips will be a conservative amount.
Many things can effect the subtle differences over time including age, weight loss or gain, environmental factors, etc. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector so that adjustments can be made to help you achieve the results you are wanting.
