Can Juvederm Be Felt Under the Lips?

Question

I am thinking of having Juvederm to make my lips more plump and to have more volume. Although, after having a consultation, I was told that I would always feel the juvederm as if it is a small wire under the skin around the lips. Will this go away after a few days? Also, is having lumps on the lips common after having Juvederm?

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Yes; you will feel some more solid feeling to the lips, although this is not anything that most patients complain about. Lumps are not that common, but can occur after Juvederm.

It all depends on the injection is done.  After a couple of weeks you should not really be able to tell where the injections were placed.  In certain occasion, if the injection becomes a bit too superficial you will be able to see the injection though.
Good luck.

Thank you for your question. Having uneven areas and lumps after Juvederm injections is not unusual. This is because the inside of the lip and the mouth is very smooth and the tongue will detect any change in smoothness also, the tissues in the lips is like a sponge, some of the spaces are larger than others therefore once the filler is injected, it's purely a functional reality for some of those spaces to accept more filler than others.  This is why your may stay hard and swollen for the first several days. Also, the final results depend on your injector. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Most fillers are palpable for the first 10 days after injection. However, the lips should feel normal after a couple of weeks. Obviously, the larger the volume of injection, the more likely you will feel it.

The Juvederm initially will feel a bit firm as the swelling and inflammation resole, however, after several days to a week, it will soften, and should not be noticeable.
