Bump in lip after Juvederm. Any suggestions? (photos)

Question

I got my lips injected with juvederm around 3 weeks ago. Everything was fine and even, however a few days ago a bump formed in my upper lip. I don't want to get hyaluronidase because I'm scared it will make things even more uneven. What should I do?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Patients who develop a "bump" in their lips after lip augmentation with Juvederm should go back to their licensed injector and ask for advice in how to address this post injection physical finding.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

if you have bumps after fillers i suggest reversing the filler with hyaluronidase and replaceing it later with cannulas.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend re-visiting with your injector to evaluate you. If it is a very discernible bump that cannot be massaged away, then a touch of hyaluronidase may be necessary.

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I recommend waiting another week and then having follow up visit with your injector for an evaluation. By two weeks all swelling should be resolved and the filler would have enough time to settle. If you require any touch ups this is appropriate time to have it done. Best of Luck!

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for
your question and photographs. It’s not unusual for patients to have contour
irregularities in their lips immediately following injections with Juvederm. In
most patients this is usually related to swelling and may take 1-2 weeks to
resolve. Unfortunately in some cases, these lumps may be related to uneven
injection of Juvederm. Your doctor may want to dissolve the filler with an
enzyme known as hyaluronidase. I recommend you follow up with your physician
for an evaluation. All the best!
