I had some topical numbing gel applied before getting 1 ml of Juvederm Refine in my upper and lower lip. One entry point was particularly painful and now that area is still abit numb. Also a small ball has formed in my lip at that spot that is slightly (very slightly blueish/purple) can this be a nicked vein? Or just a ball of product? Does is go away- or is it serious? I am happy with my lips otherwise . They look beautifully natural and plump. I just had the injections today.

Answer: Bump after lip filler This appears to be an accumulation of filler. I would wait for about 10 days for things to settle down. If there remains a bump, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. See link.

Answer: Final Result After Juvederm Thank you for your question and for sharing your postprocedure photographs. Sorry that you are having some concerns about your postprocedure appearance. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to see your final result. Swelling and bruising after filler injection is normal, especially in the lips. Icing can help for up to 48 hours postprocedure. Arnica can also help to minimize postprocedure swelling and bruising. My best advice would be to give it a full 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result. At that point, if you continue to have any concerns, please contact your injector for an in-person reevaluation in order to best address your concerns and to determine the best course of action. Best wishes!
