Why do I have itty-bitty yellowish/white patches/little bumps all over top lip after Juvederm 11 days ago? (Photos)

After receiving Botox around eyes and Juvaderm to lips I got a horrible headache and high fever that lasted for days. Fever and headache are gone but I have these tiny patchy bumps all over my top lip! Not lumps you can feel, just ones you can see. Looks horrible! What's causing them? Should I be concerned? I also have a pink area that kinda puffy beside my nose after receiving filler to upper right side of cheek. Could the filler placed elsewhere be affecting the area beside my nose? Thanks!

It appears that less filler should have been placed in the deeper tissues of your upper lip, this can happen from over filling. If it was 3 days post procedure I would say to wait, but it has been 3 months. If you are not happy with your profile it can be reversed with a few injections of...

I suggest you be seen by your Doctor and address your concerns. Generally speaking, it takes few weeks for product to settle. However, if you want to dissolve it - it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

This is difficult to answer without pictures, but this sounds like you have hollowing in the tear trough area. A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers and microneedling/prp improve this. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best,...
