Numbness and hardness 3 days after Juvederm filler in lips. (Photo)

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. 

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.

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

Hi ~ The swelling and numbness you are experiencing appears normal. There is significant swelling after filler injections to the lips and this can be accompanied by numbness. We tell our patients to not massage the lips as this can cause increased swelling and alter your results. Discuss this with your injector and make sure to follow their post injection instructions.

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.
