I had juvederm ultra (1/2 syringe) injected into my top lip 3 days ago by a technician. I can see and feel these hard pea size lumps and when I talk or smile it hangs down. What is this and how do I rid of them? Are there any techniques to massage (heard it's not recommended) this area to lessen the lumpiness look?

Answer: Juvederm lumps in lips Massage is always the first step to help reduce lumpiness after fillers. You can be pretty aggressive in trying to mash the material into a smoother shape. If that doesn't work, your doctor can inject hyaluronidase to "melt" or dissolve the filler. That'll mean you will need re-injection of filler after a couple of weeks, once the tissue has healed. I hope this helps. I wish you the best!

Answer: Lumps after lip injection Thank you for your question.I would certainly contact your injector to see if they may advise massage. At this early stage (within the first two weeks after injection) it could be the filler, but it could be swelling.At any rate, if it persists down the road, the options would be to massage some more, or to apply some hyaluronidase to dissolve the lump.
