I had almost 1 full syringe of juvaderm added to my top lip. The practitioner did not think the bottom lip needed any filler. She did not fill the vermilion border only the body of the lip. I have 4 hard lumps in my top lip. Will this work its way out? Should she have filled the border? Was it to much filler? My lip looks more like I have a puffy fat lip instead of filled out to me. What do you think? Thank you for your time!
Answer: Lip injections The answer will be dependent upon how long ago the injections were done. It takes two weeks for the swelling to resolve in order to assess the results. Next will come to how you feel about the look at that point. If you are happy, then leave it alone. If you feel it's too full on top, you certainly can have some dissolved, or if you're happy with the fullness on top but want to match the bottom, you can have some added to the bottom. The lumps you feel generally will soften over time. You may gently massage them to see if that helps.

Answer: Poor Lip Filler Results You had beautiful lips to begin with. In your case, I probably would not have given a full syringe to the top lip without also volumizing the bottom lip. The bottom lip should be bigger than the top lip, but it looks like your top lip is bigger now. Some of this may be swelling, which may improve. However, the 4 hard lumps you feel may not improve. I would recommend dissolving the filler with Hyaluronidase and starting over with an experienced injector who will respect the natural anatomy of the lips. Best wishes.

Answer: Perfecting Your Pout--Lip Augmentation that Works, Fillers (Perlane, Voluma), Implants, Fat I'm not clear on the timeline, but it seems it is still too soon for your final result. Swelling, firmness and lumps can last 1-2 weeks after your injection. If you're unhappy with your results, you can have it dissolved with Hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Almost 1 syringe of JVD in top lip only. Too much? Thank you for sharing your question. I will assume your second pic, taken a week after injection, is your current result. Overall I think you have obtained a nice result, but I am sorry to hear of your lumps. As you had a large amount of filler placed into the lip I would recommend allowing at least 1-2 more weeks to pass to see if they soften and dissolve on their own. If after this time they remain, visit your injector to have the material dissolved. Hope this helps
