I had 1ml of Juvederm lip filler yesterday for the first time. Is it normal for you to get/feel lumps afterwards?

Question

On the left corner of my mouth I have a rather noticeable lump when I speak or open my mouth. The lady who did my precidure said it was just swelling and that it would go down, and on the right hand side on my top lip (inside my mouth) it feels abit lumpy, Also it is abit uncomfortabl for me. As I said is this a normal part of swelling (lumps) I was told not to massage them myself as I could move them. What is the best way to calm the swelling and get rid of the lumps?

Hi and thank you for your question. This can be normal after lip injections. I would wait at least 2 weeks before assessing your results. If you're unhappy with the final result, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase. Best of luck.

Yes, this can be typical after lip filler. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

After receiving juvederm filler, it is not uncommon to develop a lump or lumps.  Gently massaging can help.  It usually takes about 2 weeks for the Juvederm filler to settle.  Have your fillers injected by an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon for best results.

Thank you for your question and photo. Swelling can last up to 2 weeks after lip injections. I encourage you to be patient before judging your final result.
