Four months ago I had a PA inject Juvederm Ultra Plus XC in my smile lines and lips. I'm 29 and didn't have deep lines but was told the juvederm would prevent future wrinkles. I now have unnatural swelling and hard lumps around my mouth that look very unnatural and cause sagging skin under my mouth. I've had four different injections by two different doctors of wydase with no improvement. Are these lumps permanent? Are any doctors in south Florida experienced with treating these complications?
