I got 1ml of juvederm in my lips three days ago but I am experiencing a numb feeling on my top lip, it's tingly and numb and my top lip is quite hard. I have been massaging it but it doesn't seem to be getting any softer and there are lumps on the top lip which I am HOPING is the needle trauma and not the filler. I am worried about the numb feeling, is this normal. From the pics do they look abnormal to you or are they ok for considering how soon it is since having them done?
Answer: Numbness and hardness 3 days after JVD filler in lips Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that this numbness and firmness has concerned you. Due to the lips thin tissues they can swell after treatment, resulting in a temporary firmness and altered sensation. Depending on how much filler was placed you can anticipate a resolution slowly over the next 2-4 weeks. Hang in there as it looks like you will have a nice result.

Answer: Lip injections It appears that you have normal swelling associated with lip injections. The other symptoms you are experiencing are not uncommon due to the area injected. It should resolve on its own over the next two weeks. If it does not, contact your injector for an evaluation.

Answer: Normal numbing with lip augmentation and fillers This appears to be normal. You can experience swelling, numbness and firmness 1-2 weeks after your injection. If you remain concerned, contact your injector. If you're unhappy with final results, you can have it reversed and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: 3 days post-lip filler What you are experiencing can be related to swelling around the filler. Lips are notorious for swelling substantially in some patients. The numbness and hardness should start to resolve. Be careful to not over massage as this can lead to more swelling or bruising. If the hardness and visible nodules continue for a few more days, it may be necessary to spot reduce with hyaluronidase. Best of luck.
