I had belotero intense filler in my lips 1ml it has been 2 weeks now and I can see 2 visible bumps on one side of my lip. 1 week following my lip filler I went to check this up with the doctor that did the procedure and by using a small fine needle she poked the area and said there was small bit of filler and blood that came out. However after waiting the following week I can still see the same marks. what could this be? if it is not filler what would I need to do to smooth this out? thank you

Joseph M. Pober, MD, FACS - Account Suspended says:
Belotero usually lasts around 6-12 months in the lips. It can take two to four weeks until the lips feel normal and soft again after getting the injections. Since it has been 3 months you have about another 3-6 until the filler minimizes.
