I had juvederm injected into my lips about 3 weeks ago.. the swelling has completely gone down, and at first glance my lips look fine (not the results i wanted at all, but they look ok), however, when i feel them they are hard lumps, accompanied with pain if i squeeze.. it definitely han't 'dissolved' evenly into the lips,i also have a large, visible, portruding lump on my lower lip, and ive massaged and used warm compresses but nothing. Is this normal? shouldnt 3 weeks be enough? Thanks!
