My only concern is that I can feel the gel underneath my skin when I touch my face. It's a bit of an odd sensation so I worry if the doctor made a mistake with the injection.
Should I be able to feel it? Is the gel hardening? Can it be accidentally moved out of place?

It really repends on what filler was used and where in the lips it was injected. Injecting the wrong filler for the lips or injecting too superficially can cause lumpiness. Sometimes however, even a suitable filler injected in the right place...
Juvederm is a soft tissue filler made from hyaluronic acid, as is Restylane and Perlane. When we desire to lessen the amount of hyaluronic acid product in the soft tissues of the face, a material called Wydase can be injected to 'melt' away the product.
This can be done very quickly in you...
Since Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid just like restylane or perlane, an experienced injector can safely use hyaluronidase to dissolve all or some of the filler that was injected.
