2 weeks ago today I had juvederm injected by a plastic surgeon into my upper and lower lips. I iced my lips the first 24 hours and everything looked good. But I have a tender lump on my bottom lip that is driving me crazy still after 2 weeks. I called the office a few days ago and they told me to massage it. I have been trying but the lump is tender so I'm scared to rub it hard. Not sure what to do. I live 4 hours away from the place and can't go see them anytime soon. Should I ice it?

Realistically, there are only two plausible explanations. One explanation is that more product is needed to meet your expectations. A second possibility is that the filler isn't being placed into the correct anatomic area to achieve the look you desire. Sometimes the injector needs to consider...
It appears as though you may need slightly more than the .4cc syringe. The best option is to discuss with your injector, he/ she can evaluate you in person. Best,
Ensure you are seen by your injector for an in person assessment and treatment. It is always most beneficial for your injector to evaluate your symptoms. All the best,
