I got 0.8ml Juvederm injected into my top lip 3 weeks ago today. Should I panic?

This was not my first time. I saw a small spot on the side of my lip on the corner of my mouth and I very slightly squeezed it and lots of clear liquid came out. I am not going to touch it and it’s not freely coming out although if I squeezed I’m sure that it would. It’s a very small hole and looks like a white head although it’s definitelt a clear liquid coming out. I feel really worried.

Hi and thank you for your question! Lumps and swelling following filler injection are quite common and they are all expected to fully resolved within 2 weeks, so if you had the fillers recently, you can wait. If it has been beyond the two-week period, you should do a follow up with your...

No one can predict exactly how long dermal fillers will last from person to person, even though we have a good idea of the overall average. In some, JUVÉDERM® results fade more quickly than others. This may be the case for you, or you may simply benefit from adding a bit more product. Call y...

I would go back to your provider so they could do a thorough assessment of your concerns. Likely antibiotics will be started and possible dis-solvent to the area to get rid of the product causing infection
