Are lumps after lip fillers normal? (Photo)

Swelling and lumps after HA injections can occur. If the lumps are small they will subside over time. Most patients have mild discomfort after injections and the pain also subsides with time.  The amount of filler you got is appropriate and your results look good. Use some ice packs for the swelling and pain. Schedule a follow up visit in a few weeks to review the results and see if you need a touch up. Overall, I think your results look good.
Good Luck.

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

Thank you for your question axxs.
I understand your concern. Fillers are used to restore lost volume in and
enhance the appearance of the face. For my patients I recommend Vollure and Volbella in the lips. I recommend Vollure to my patients if the desired result is an increase in volume and Volbella for more subtle enhancement. Lumps and bumps are common with such hyaluronic acid fillers, especially in the lips. These typically subside by 2 weeks. At that point final results are seen and either more product can be added if further enhancement is desired or the product can be dissolved if the desired results are not achieved. I used to recommend gently massage in this area until I had a patient who massaged too vigorously that the product moved to the inside of the lips and it required dissolving. Now I recommend that my patients not massage and only apply cold compresses. Please consult with a doctor for specific
recommendations.  Good luck!
