I had restylane injected in both lips about 2 months ago. There are several box like bumps on the inside of the top lip which are not noticeable unless I evert my lip. The bumps on the bottom lip are visible all the time. I have had juvederm and restylane before without bumps. Bumps seem to have become more prominent over the past month. Is this due to poor injection technique? Bad reaction? Do I need hyaluronidase? Should I never get injections in lips or anywhere else again?
