Bump on the Inside of Lip from Juvederm

Question

I have a bump with a blueish head and I had Jevederm done 3 weeks ago. I'm thinking its from the injection. Im calling my doctor in the morning but I don't trust him now. Please advise, I'm scared from all the bad news post I have been reading. The bump is in the inside and looks like the jevederm is trying to come out. Can this happen? Now I checked my mouth again and it looks like another bump starting up. Please advise!                                         Thank You

It can happen with Juvederm getting placed close to the lip mucosa (red skin). It can be removed by making a small stab incision and squeezing it out. You can also have Hyaluronidase injections and it will disappear in 2 days.
Please keep in mind this can happen in the best of hands and does not necessarily mean that your physician is not good at doing this.
Regards

Don't despair and don't distrust your doctor. If some product moved to an area that is felt inside on the mucosa, it can be removed by a small needle and pressure by your doctor or by placing hyaluronidase in the area, provided you are not allergic to this injection.

The bump can be a collection of Juvederm. It could be a small cyst (mucocoele) that was inadvertently injected or it could be a small liquefying hematoma. Most of these are benign occurences that are of little long term significance and should resolve.  Juvederm can be treated with off label use of hyaluronidase but be prepared to accept a loss of the correction acheived.

Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

The bump after injection can be either some Juvederm or a small heamotoma (blood clot) that developed after the injections.  In either case, it will subside gradually.  If it is Juvederm, you can massage the area in between your finger and thumb and it will dissipates.  If it is a tiny hematona, it will resolve within 7 days or so.

If you are having problems with the filler and it sounds like it need to be removed, you should go back to your doctor or find someone else and have him dissolve it with hyaluronidase.
