I do have a little bruise on the top of my mouth. My lips just feel hard. Is this normal? How do I know if it's swelling or actual lip size.
Answer: Hard little spot? Hi Kristen.It is normal to have some hard spots with dermal filler injections. I believe you will be better in a week or two. I always suggest returning to see your injector about 2 to 3 weeks after the initial injection. In some cases, lumps have to be dissolved, but it does not sound like this will be the case with you.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Answer: Lumps after Lip Augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane)--Reverse with Hyaluronidase, if necessary It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. Some swelling and/or lumps can be typical after lip injections and will resolve in 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Bruising, swelling and hardness are normal side effects after injections. Congrats on your new look! The symptoms you’ve described are completely normal shortly after dermal fillers and should resolve on their own over the next few days, revealing your final results. You can apply a cold compress or ice pack to the area to help reduce the swelling. If you still have concerns about your results once the swelling and hardness have gone away, consult your plastic surgeon’s office.

Answer: Mouth corner hard after Filler injection Hi Kristen, Having a small lump after filer injections around the mouth is normal. You can usually massage it. But, I wouldn't get rid of it completely because that's what helps hold up the corners of your mouth up and help with volume loss in that area, as long as you can't see it from the outside. Hope that helps and ears your mind. Regards.

Answer: Lumps after Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question. It is too early to determine what your final results will be. It is common to have some swelling and lumps after lip injections and should resolve in 1-2 weeks. You can gently massage the lumps to help smooth them out. If after 2 weeks you are unhappy with your results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!
