Juvederm Left Large Lump on Right Side of Lip - Get More or Wait? (photo)

I would let it settle for about a week.  If the lump is still there, then you can have Vitrase injected to soften it.   If your doctor does not provide this service, then you should be able to find someone locally that does. 

 

Good Luck.

Thank you for the photos.  Sometimes there may be some contour irregularities after injection.  This can be due to the product placement, bruising, or other issues.  You are very early in your post procedure course.  In our office, we usually wait 10 to 14 days before seeing a patient back as we know there will be swelling.  Swelling can be present for a while, even longer if there was any bruising.  Often contour irregularities can be smoothed out.  Please let your well trained, experienced injector know about your concerns.           

If you have a lump after Juvederm injection, it may simply be swelling and should be observed of a week or two.  

If it persists, then additional Juvederm injection in an adjacent are may smooth the contour.  

Alternatively, the excess Juvederm can be dissolved by injection of Hyaluronidase.

Consult your board certified plastic surgeon for a follow visit after two week and discuss your concerns and treatment options.

Sorry that you had a bad first experience. Firstly, do not have any more injected yet. Secondly, if this is a true lump it is possible that it can be easily expressed by pricking the area with a needle(the doctor doing this NOT YOU) and squeezing it out. If does not express I would wait and later use hyaluronidase to dissolve.  The other possibility is that this is inflammatory and might resolve on its own. Seeing someone now might be good to get an opinion and a baseline even though you might do nothing as you will feel better knowing that you are in good hands. The good news is that this is not permanent and will be resolved. Make sure that whoever you see has a lot of experience with skin and fillers-a dermatologist or plastic surgeon only. 

Please hold off on any further injections at this time.  Let any swelling/bruising subside.  After two weeks or so if the lump persists, I would have it dissolved with Vitrace.  This is a quick and simple procedure and is very effective.

Lip augmentation is tailored to the needs of the patient and her/his sense of beautiful lips.

The lump on the inside/ massage then see a more experienced DOCTOR

You need to wait for a week or two to see how much of the lump is due to swelling. I do not recommend having the same inexperienced injector treating the other side or you probably will end up with two lumps instead of one. Hyaluronidase injections should be considered if the lump persists. Please remember, your results depend upon the skill and experience of your physician injector. It truly is an art. 

If the injected Juvederm left a lump, which from the photos does appear to be the case IMHO it's best to let it subside before having more filler injected to the area.  If you want longer augmentation, you might want to consider Alloderm or one of the other lip implants for a more permanent lip augmentation.
