Does lip filler (juvederm) always feel firm under lips even once it's healed? less then a full syringe, its been 5 days. (photo)

Lumps at the injection sites, seem to be getting better afraid to massage it 'cuz it is painful I'm assuming that's due to the trauma of the needle placement. Will my lips always feel this firm or will it continue healing and start to feel like they are my lips again. Right now I sort of feel like I'm walking around with wax lips on. You can also see the spots where filler is lumped on the top. Does that dissipate? Is that swelling from needle trauma that takes longer to heal?
