I had my Juvederm inected into my lips 2 weeks ago, returning for a follow up to correct the right side of my lip one week ago. On my top lip there are 4 ridges basically in the same spot on both sides. The middle section of my top lip sort of droops down and is causing quite a sever ridge next to the centre on the left (however there is signs of a bruise and the lump is relatively hard ) I am very concerned and unhappy about my results however i do not want to undergo anymore swelling or down time.

Answer: Juvederm ridges
Ridges can happen from any filler. It seems like you had vertical wrinkles filled in. In the lip the best approach is to spread the Juvederm as a carpet underlay in the skin part. Trying to fill individual vertical lines is tricky, it can work but also can give raised areas.
Solution: Get hyaluronidase to absorb the material and then later get it done properly and conservatively by someone with a lot of experience in lip injections.

Answer: Juvederm Bumps?
Hi Kabreana. Without pictures and/or the ability to feel the bumps it's hard to make a recommendation.
It seems that the "ridges" are the major concern so you should go back in for a checkup with your injector to discuss the issue.
