Unfortunately, Juvederm can last for years and those lumps are product that have pushed through the superficial layers and are now trapped near the surface. The best thing to do is have a bit of Hyaluronidase injected into them to dissolve them. It's quick and easy and you will be much happier when they are gone!
I recommend that it is worth having your doctor try to break down the product with hyaluronidase. If it is still present, then this will help to break it down.
See your medical provider to inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve this product, I strongly suggest seeing a board certified physician for future injectables. Best of luck
After one year, most of the product has worn off. With some patients, the filler may last for a longer period of time in the lips. Juvederm in the lips may lead to the following side effects: 1) Swelling immediately following the injections 2) Bruising 3) Lumps or bumps Have the lumps been there the entire time? If this is the case, they are likely due to excess product. They will resolve on their own over time. Another option would be to inject the area with hyaluronidase, which will dissolve any excess filler that is present. I hope this helps, and best of luck.
At one week out you can still expect some improvement. You can try to massage the bumps if Hyaluronidase is not an option. Juvederm should go away completely with time, but on rare occasions scar tissue can form from injections.
The lumps you see may be the filler or reaction to the filler. If it is filler, then hyaluronidase should be able to dissolve it.
If over a year than only excision might improve but there could be a scar. Have you tried hyaluronidase injections to the "lumps" ?
Hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Boletero) can be dissolved quickly using a product called hyaluronidase. It is sold under trade names like Vitrase and Hylenex. It works quickly and effectively. In general, most HA fillers do not show up so prominently after a year. If the hyaluronidase fails to improve your lips, then you probably did not receive a true Juvederm injection. I would suggest seeking consultation with a qualified (facial) plastic surgeon so you can discuss other options if the hyaluronidase doesn't correct the problem.
Make sure what was really injected. If it is hyaluronic acid, it can be dissolved by your doctor. In general Hyaluronic Acid does not stay long in the lips.
I would immediately use hyaluronidase to dissolve this issue. I don't know why you waited so long. I also would choose a different injector.
Anytime filler is placed you can get a bruise. If this is an event where you would not be ok with potentially have a visible bruise I would reschedule until a week where you have more flexibility. Good luck with your treatment.
The Tyndall Effect or blue light scattering is a well-known complication of injecting hyaluronic acid fillers too superficially in the skin. Belotero Balance, a relative newcomer in the U.S., owing to the special method of its manufacture, has little tendency to give rise to this problem even...
When was this treatment done? Have you already had Hyaluronidase? What area are you wanting to reverse? Best of luck.
