I have tiny white bumps on top inner lip 4 days after filler, should I be concerned? (Photos)

Question

Hi, It's been 4 days since I got lip filler and I have just noticed tiny white lumps on the inside of my top lip on both sides, nothing on my lower lip. What is this and what should I do??

Hi Vickivapevape,
Thanks for your question! The short answer is that you should get a check up consult with your cosmetic doctor this week if possible. You need a face to face consult to make sure that it isn't filler or infection that may need treatment.
In saying that, It looks like the white lumps you are referring to could be a normal gland called "Fordyce spots". The white spots can be found on the lips (and genitals) and are of only cosmetic concern. I would wonder whether they were there before the injections and never noticed by yourself or whether the lip filler place underneath has caused their appearance to increase. 
Keep me posted
Thanks
