Is it normal to have a dense lump in your lip 3 weeks after having Juvaderm ultra lip injections done? I was told it's "normal" by the doctor but it is noticeable and it's dense to the touch like a ball. The side of the lip that the lump is on is slightly bigger as well. I wasn't given any instructions to do anything after the injections, just ice for swelling.
