I Had Juvederm Injected into my Lips and Have a Large Bump on my Top Lip. You Can SEE THE PRODUCT Under the Bump. (photo)

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

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.

Contact your medical provider in the bump doesnt heal, your physician can apply hyaluronidaseto the area to help dissolve the products

Dear Milehidoll,

These small bumps are a very common problem with lip injections with hyaluronic acids like Juvederm or Restylane.  My preference is Juvederm Ultra which is the softest gel.  Despite that, these bumps an occur; and they usually occur exactly in the area you have pointed out in your photos.  The simplest solutions to get a very small injection of Hyaluronidase just to breakdown that specific area.  Best of luck.

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.
