This is my 2nd time getting Juvederm lip injections. I waited over a year to get my 2nd injection because the 1st one lasted over a year (and I only got 1/2 vile). The 1st time around I had 2 bumps on the top lip took a year to heal/dissolve. I went 4 days ago and got another 1/2 vile and I have even more bumps and am worried I will be stuck with them for a year. Is this just a bad job by my doc? will I get charged to have it fixed/dissolved? I don't want them around for a year like last time.
Answer: Melting Juvederm
You should talk to your doctor about injecting Vitrase to dissolve the Juvederm bumps. The Vitrase works almost instantly and is very effective against all HA products (Juvederm, Restylane, etc).
Good Luck.

Answer: Lip filler bumps Lip filler bumps is fairly common after filler and should only be done by an expert. 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. Reasons for bumps after filler: Technique- Filler may have been used too superficially or wrong type of filler Mouth movements- In some patients their movements can promote the accumulation of bumps and an alternative technique can be advocated. Treating lip filler bumps: Observation +/- massage- Should be done for almost all lip filler bumps for 2 weeks. For our patients we usually advocated massage after 48-72 hours to let the filler settle into place. Reversal- A reversal agent can be used such as Vitrase to dissolve the filler if there is a large obvious persistent bump Additional filler- An expert filler injector can used improved technique to mask the lip bumps. The application of lip filler is very technical and should be done by an expert injector.

Answer: Bumps on lip Since you are just 4 days out - it's a little early to tell the final result. Massage and wait about a week for the post-injection swelling to get better. If, after several weeks, the bumps are still there, you may want to have them injected with hyaluronidase, to dissolve the filler and get rid of the bumps. All the best,

Answer: Bumps after Lip augmentation Thanks for your question, At day 4 they may still be swollen, wait two weeks and by that time the filler should have integrated into the tissues and they should feel smoother. I would advise you let your medical practitioner know as they can massage out any lumps for you. If after two weeks you are still unhappy then there is the option to have the filler dissolved with an enzyme called hyalase. Wishing you all the best

Answer: Bumps after Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question. Since you are only 4 days post-treatment it is to early to tell what your final result will be. It is common to have swelling and bumps after injection. The bumps can be from a trauma or superficial injection. You can gently massage the lumps to help smooth them out. If this persists for several weeks after treatment, you can have them injected with hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler. Best of Luck!
