How Long Until Restylane Bumps on Lip Smooth Out?

Both Restylane and Juvederm are fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid fillers, known as humectant, meaning that tendency to draw water/hydration to the area of injection. In another words, hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm work, at least partially by plumping the skin via hydration. Therefore swelling after lip augmentation is to be expected but should subside in a week or two. For first timers, less is better. Natural lip augmentation can be achieved simply by accentuating the vermilion border.

Small bumps after fillers can smooth out and go away in 2-3 weeks. I do advise clients to massage them gently as long as they are not painful. Sometime these little bumps can be a bruise (hematoma) and it will eventually go away. However, I have seen very few people that retain some small bumps that are not visible to the eye. These can linger much longer and these are small granulomas that form. Sometime they can be injected with vitrase (an enzyme to break the filler down). I would recommend you give it a little more time.

I love micro droplet fat for the lips. I think it is natural and looks great. It also lasts the longest.These lumps should improve. I would see your surgeon to discuss. We all have our own little tricks to treat this sort of an issue and this varies by injection technique.Attached is a quick video on some of the benefits of facial fat transfer.Hope this helps.Best of luck,The Fat Guys.
