I have a large hard lump in the middle of my top lip from Juvederm. Will it soften up over time? If so, how long? (photo)

Victoria84Feb 25, 2014
I had a small scar on my top lip (almost in the middle) filled in with lip augmentation. After the procedure I was extremely bruised and swollen all over my lips for 10 days. I did not get full feeling back into my top lip for at least 5 days. Also, the procedure was extremely painful. I had topical anesthesia, but it was only left on for 5 minutes before the doctor performed the procedure. I believe the doctor way over filled one side of my top lip and they are crooked now.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have a thermalift 2 weeks post Juvederm. Ensure you are working with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for this procedure. Best,

Thank you for your question. The choice is entirely up to you. Nurse injectors can be just as skillful as anyone else. Consider a consultation with the nurse first to meet him/ her and ensure you feel comfortable. Best,

Swelling is a common side effect from lip injections and can last for approx. 2 weeks. After 2 weeks if you still have an undesired look, schedule a follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. At that time you may have the product removed with hyaluronidase. Best,

Thank you for your question. There is a possibility the area still contains product and needs to be dissolved. Sometimes hyaluronidase treatments need to be repeated in order to obtain full results. Best,

Thank you for your question. From your photo it is difficult to assess the area. Please schedule a follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns and obtain treatment. If this is a lump of product you may require a hyaluronidase injection. Best,

Some products come in .5cc, most Juvederm if not all come in 1cc syringes. Your skin would have to be assessed by a board certified dermatologist for pigment. Cephalexin will not cause the Juvederm to dissolve. All the best,
