If you are concerned see your injector, but it takes 2 weeks to really settle in and look normal.  Best, Dr. Emer.

People respond differently to lip fillers and the same patient may experience different results in terms of swelling, firmness, lumpiness and bruising at different treatment sessions.Usually I find Juvederm to feel softer than some other fillers,  but some firmness takes a while longer to so...

It sounds like you need to switch to a different filler. You may also be noticing the swelling that typically goes away at two weeks. See an expert for long lasting results. Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Yes, you can have lip fillers. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers.  I hope this helps.

I suggest seeing an expert if you are concerned after 2 weeks you can reverse the filler or have it comoflaged.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Unfortunately after 5 weeks there is little rapid improvement that will take place without dissolving the filler material with hyaluronidase.  I would speak with your injector about your concerns to discuss options at treatment.
