In April 2017, I had juvederm lip fillers done. Swelling went down after the first few days& I was left with a bump on my upper lip that wouldn’t go away. I returned to my doctor and she dissolved it with hyaluronic acid. Since my procedure in April, there have been 6 times my upper lip has swelled up overnight. Normally, I take an antihistamine & the swelling goes down within a few hours but this time it hasn’t gone down. Allergic reaction? Does it have to do with the juvederm or injections?

Yes you can have juvederm even if the Princess Volume it has not completely dissolved. They will dissolve at different rates however meaning you may need another injection when the Princess volume completely dissolves but at one year it probably is already gone. So nothing to worry about.
If the goal of your having the injections is to enlarge your lips, a few days to a week of swelling and bruising is expected if you are being injected with a cannula (a needle without point). Cannulas are less likely to penetrate small blood vessels, so there is less risk of bruising and swell...
Without in person examination to me appears as a small venous lake or capillary hemangioma. Laser therapy can correct quite easily. If not what I think these are, than need of in person examinations...
