What Do I Do?About 3 weeks ago I got lip injections with the product Juvederm. I have a large bump on my top lip, left side. I've massaged it daily and it has not gone away. Today, I looked at the bump up close in the mirror and you can see the product through my skin! I am horrified. My lips are very uneven, also. The surgeon I went to is very well known and supposed to be one of the very best in my state. Is this common? I don't know that I want HIM to correct it if he already messed them up once.
Answer: I Had Juvederm Injected into my Lips and Have a Large Bump on my Top Lip
Hi Milehdoll,
I'm so sorry to hear that you're not happy with your filler. Give it time and massage the area a few minutes a day, contact your physician who did the injection so he can correct this issue. There is an enzyme call hyauronidase which could be applied to the lip and dissolve the bump.
Best Wishes

Answer: Bumps after lip filler Lip filler bumps is fairly common after filler. 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: Treating Juvederm lumps in the lip
Treatment of Juvederm bumps in the lip can be accomplished readily with hyaluronidase injection. It can also be accomplished by making a needlestick nick in the lip and expressing out the excess product.
Both techniques work well - there is no reason to live with the bumps at this point. They are not swelling at the 3 week mark.

Answer: Bumps and unevenness for fillers can be corrected easily.
Juvederm and other fillers in the category of hyaluronic products are easily reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Although it is rarely needed it is nice to know that unintended results can be fixed. Hyaluronidase requires a simple injection into the bump and can be done anytime. Because your treatment was only a few weeks ago it might also be possible to simply make a tiny incision over the excess filler and express the material. If you have a good doctor with a good reputation then I suggest you consult with him. I think he will be able to give you the result you want!
