Lip Injections with Juvederm Ultra Smile 1,1ml - lumps, bumps horrible -will this even out?

Question

It is 5 day after my first Juvederm injections but I am a little concerned on the lasting effects. My top lip has bumps in the front which you can see more when I smile and speak. It looks totally unnatural. Is this normal? Also I read that massaging might help, and if so how often and how long? I can not go out like that, I am ashamed :(

You are pretty swollen still which can occur with Juvederm at 5 days.  It will improve and the lumps should even out.  Try taking some ibuprofen.  If they remain overcorrected you may need to have it taken out a 2 weeks.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  After JVD lip injections, long term results may not be seen for 2-4 weeks depending on the amount placed.  I can see your areas of concern but it appears that you still have a fair amount of lip swelling present and I would recommend cold compresses and sleeping with your head elevated over the next week while allowing your results to mature.  You should see steady improvement in their appearance.  If you continue to have lumps and bumps your injector can dissolve the filler at that time to return you to your original lip appearance. Hope this helps.

It can take two weeks for any swelling and bruising to resolve.  If you are not happy with your results at that time, please return to your injector for discussion about treatment options.

Your lips are way overfilled. Having that much product in the lips is bound to have some bumps that can't be controlled. If that's how large you like them, you will most likely have to live with some irregularities.

Might offer Rx of steeds, antibiotics and possible hyaluronidase injections (fee $500). Ask your injecting doctor.
