I had 1ml of Juvederm Ultra Smile 12 months ago. My top lip feels small lumps. I had them checked out at 11 mths old + was told to massage them to see if they would smooth, I still have the lumps. Although it isn't very noticeable I’m worried about my old filler being in my lips. The nurse checked my lips out suggested I go for a consultation for the treatment hyalase. what is the risk I’m going to damage my lips more by having treatment. + if I don't have the treatment what will happen to the lumps
