Is it normal for lip fillers to feel hard in your lips?

Question

2 weeks ago I had 0.3 injected into my upper and lower lip to try and fill out the lips from previous filler. But now they're so hard to touch and feel extremely unnatural, and they throb a little after rolling them? When I grab my lips they feel like cylinders, but they don't look swollen at all and the woman I get them done at is extremely well known and I experienced minimal bruising. Would injecting a small amount of hyaluronidase be able to soften them?

Yes, that is normal. It should go away over time. I would recommend waiting to see if this subsides. If it continues, contact the doctor who injected you.

Lip filler should not ever feel hard. The filers designed for the lip are soft and cannot get hard. I would give it another week or so take ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. If not better go to the vitrase

Two weeks is still relatively early days. Are you able to massage the filler to "break it down" and make it less firm?  Lumps following injection with dermal fillers that don't resolve with massage can be dissolved if they are of concern to you. Your injector should be able to dissolve just the lump, leaving the rest of your lips and filler alone.
