The doctor felt that my bottom lip didn’t need any volume, as I wanted a more natural look. I can both see and feel a hard bump that is visible when I smile. How long until the filler starts to breakdown and the lump subside? I’m worried if I get it dissolved, my lips will be uneven on that side. Can I wait it out? Thank you.

Answer: Lip injections Swelling is common after lip injections and can take up to two weeks to resolve. You can try to gently massage the lump that you are noticing to help smooth it out. If after two weeks you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation. You can determine together if dissolving the product is best.

Answer: I got Juvederm XC injected into my upper lip ten days ago. How long until the filler starts to breakdown and the lump subside? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. For most patients, swelling in the lips can persist for 10-14 days after injection, while softening can take up to 4-6 weeks. If the lump remains prominent at 2 weeks, considering having a small amount dissolved. Hope this helps.
