I'm wondering if this is normal with the specific type of product used- two weeks ago, I was injected with Juvederm ultra plus XC. When I look at my lips, I can clearly see where the filler was injected- there are a few clear sacks of juvederm visible in my lips. Why is this/what should I do?

Answer: Clear pockets of filler... The filler is too superficial and it can be seen under the fleshy skin of the lip. It can be treated with a small incision and drainage of the excess so you can keep the rest of the Juvederm in other parts of the lips.Speak with your injector, but this is a known and not uncommon complication with most fillers.Good luck.

Answer: Lip Fillers It's hard to fully assess without photos but it sounds as though the filler was injected improperly. You shouldn't have residual bumps. Your best option is to see your injector to have the bumps dissolved with hyaluronidase.As with all cosmetic procedures, especially when it comes to fillers, the skill of the injector is paramount. Don't trust your face to just anyone! Always seek an expert in facial aesthetics, such as a board-certified dermatologist, to maximize results while minimizing side effects
