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: Pockets with Juvederm--reverse with hyaluronidase
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results are not what you anticipated. Your lumps are due to filler that was placed too superficially and after two weeks should be dissolved. Hope this helps.
There are various fillers that can be used for treating the 3 areas that you mention. Juvederm Ultra Plus is quite versatile and can be used safely and effectively in all 3 areas. Depending on the degree of hollowing in the temples or cheeks, your dermatologist may consider other fillers,...
There will be no effect at all on the sinuses. The sinuses will be on the other side of the bone and filler will not penetrate the bone. The main risk will be intravascular injection or an asymmetric injection. Best of luck.
