Hard lumps in lips 6 months after Juvederm filler.

TaraTealApr 2, 2016
I had 1ml juvederm done 6 months ago. Lumps formed immediately, massaged but some remained. 6 months later, one lump has gone and three large ones remain. They feel pretty solid, but you cannot see them as they are mostly on the inside of my lips. I would like to know if anyone can tell me if this is likely to be small deposits of filler that will eventually go, and if it is, can I have filler done again? I am worried about filler dissolving, leaving these lumps more pronounced.

Biting your lips to the degree you described can affect the result of your lip filler. You also run other risks such as infection. I encourage you to try to break this habit, regardless if you get filler treatment.
