I had 1ml Juvaderm Volift in my lips 5 months ago. Had no problems however now I keep getting hard lumps appear. They flare up and go down but the bumps are always there. Sometimes quite painful. Doctors keep saying they don’t know. They appear to be where the injections were? Please help.
Answer: It could be many other things as well, such as a biofilm, or be totally unrelated to the filler injections. Thank you for your question! It could be many other things as well, such as a biofilm, or be totally unrelated to the filler injections. It is hard to say without an exam and even a biopsy. Treatment is hyaluronidase, antibiotics if biofilm is suspected, possibly even colchicine or 5FU if vicross is implicated. There are still a lot of questions about this so you may get several different opinions. I hope this helps and doesn't cause more confusion! They main thing is they are treatable and eventually go away.

Answer: Lip lumps That’s such a shame, but it can happen several months later. I’m sure you are worried. Your Drs should try putting a needle into the lumps to extrude the product, try a course of steroids and if all this fails then use hyalase (which is the likeliest outcome I’m afraid). Unfortunately it will deflate the lips as it removes your natural hyaluronic acid (HA). It can happen in theory with all HA fillers but anecdotally a bit more often with the Vycross range.
