2x hard lumps after lip filler (Juvederm Volift) (Photo)

Question

3 days P/O after Volift. During my Dr said I had a hematoma I remember blood running &him grabbing the area and pressing firmly, I asked him what the lump was, he told me not to worry & it would go. There was a slight bruise which disappeared on day 2. Woke up today & it now looks like I have 2x clear hard lumps. The swellings gone down as far as I can see else where. I sent him a photo and he said it was normal & told me to start massaging the area. I would really appreciate any advice.

Hi there! 
Thank you for your question. Swelling and bruising is common after lip injections and would gently massage / apply arnica regardless. However after 10 day mark, if still present I would recommend a check up with the practitioner who carried out the procedure as there is a chance this is dermal filler / hyaluronic acid that is lying superficially in the lip. 
If the problem persists, there is the option of hyaluronidase injections into bumps to break down and dissolve the product.
Good luck and best wishes,
Dr Rupert

You can reverse the filler or inject steroid to decrease scar tissue.  Please see an expert for treatment options.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Volift is a product which would not sit well in the lips if injected superficially in the lip as seen here. You have two options: 1. Wait a week and then visit your doctor to massage the product out. 2.Dissolve filler with hyalase. Incidentally injecting lips with a cannula rather than a needle will rarely result in this outcome.

Based upon the picture, it appears that this is a filler causing the bump.  I would first trying massaging the area.  I normally will do this myself and not on patients to know how.  If that doesn't work, it may require an injection of an antidote called Hylaronidase.

Hi,
It appears the filler was injected more superficial(close to the surface of the lip) in that area. I would recommend massaging those bumps fairly consistently over the next week. If you find those bumps do not go away, I recommend you see your injector as he/she may need to dissolve that filler with hyaluronidase.
Thanks!
