I got lip fillers 3 days ago and I have noticed the inside of my lips are very bumpy after them. A lot of people have pointed this out and ask me straight away if I've gotten fillers (I wanted to do it descretly and didn't tell anyone) this is upsetting as I don't want it to be super obvious. I'm worried my injector has done a botched job! Will these issues subside? What do you think and what should I do? Thank you

Answer: Bumpy lips after lip filler placement Swelling and some lumpiness is normal for a few days up to a week or two after injection of filler into the lips. Especially if needles are used, some bruising and bumps are usually expected and typically subside over the following week. A microcannula can be used to add volume to lips with much less swelling and/or bruising, but needles are usually needed if shaping and definition of the lips is desired. You can gently massage the lumps of filler if you can feel them. Use your finger and thumb and pinch the lump and apply gentle pressure for a minute or two. This can help to dissipate the lumps and help your lips become more smooth in appearance.

Answer: Injectable fillers It appears that some of your filler may be superficial. You can return to your injector for advice. I check placement after I inject product to confirm it is in the appropriate position and there are no bumps or lumps. I also see many patients like you who are unhappy with their product placement. It is important to make sure your injector listens and understands what your goals and expectations are to have the best experience possible.
