Recently got 0.5ml Juvaderm injected into my lips. However I have realised that I have Fordyce spots on my upper lip. The doctor who injected me has assured me that I had these spots prior, however they were sitting more under and the Juvaderm has made the spots more pronounced. I would like to know will the fordyce spots return to their original position after the juvaderm has been broken down by my body, or is the prominence of these spots permanent?

Dear anon,
Thank you for your question. I would recommend using Juvederm Ultra or Volbella for your lips. Voluma is an amazing product but it is intended for injection into the cheek for lifting.
Best,

Hi. I would not recommend using Juvaderm or this class of product called hyaluronic acid fillers for the temples. For one, a product like Juvaderm may show in this area and this class is not long acting for this area. You will get some volume but for the cost it may only last 6 months....
Thank you for your question. Most likely you need to have a top up of the filler after 4-6 months. The bumps that you are experiencing are probably from prior injections or uneven metabolism of the filler. I would fill on top of the remaining filler to make the lips look more even. Best of Luck!
