Question

It will go away? What exacly is this white lump. My dr tell me is not a lump from gel. He tell me its brucing. But thats how look bruising?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I recommend that you wait a full two weeks after injection before taking further action.  It can take that long for swelling to resolve and lumps that you feel to soften and settle.  If you still have concerns at that point you can return to your injector and have the product dissolved with hyaluronidase if desired.

Harold J. Kaplan, MD · Answer

Hi L.  Juvederm can often cause swelling like this for a week or more.  If the product still seems lumpy after 2 full weeks, then contact your injector or another to talk about having it dissolved with Hyaluronidase.  To see an example of a Juvederm reversal with Hyaluronidase, click on the link below.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Because of the thin nature of the lips it is common to experience a fair amount of swelling after filler placement.  Assymtrical swelling is common if asymmetrical amounts of filler was placed.  That said your picture appears to demonstrate that the white lump is in fact filler material and is unlikely to fully soften and resolve to improve your result. Best to allow a full two weeks of maturation time but if it remains have your injector dissolve the excess filler with hyaluronidase.  Hope this helps.

Sanjiv Kayastha, MD · Answer

I would wait 10 days to two weeks before making a judgment. At that time if there is still a bump it could be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Discuss your concerns with your injector.

What you may be experiencing is a lump of filler product. Bruising is usually purple. Best to be seen in person. Sometimes early on it can be massaged away.
