is it normal to have lumps straight after having Juvederm lip filler? Will they go away?

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Lumps are not uncommon after lip injections. They often will soften and resolve after about two weeks.  You can gently massage the area to help the process.  If after two weeks you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.

Raja Mohan, MD · Answer

This is a great question. It is possible to have lumps after treatment with Juvederm. Sometime it is the filler itself and requires massage. Or the lumpy feeling could be due to swelling associated with the treatment. In rare circumstances, lumpiness can be a sign of allergy or infection. If you are unhappy with the result or are concerned, I recommend you consult with the individual who performed the injection. Hope this helps.

Marek Kacki, MD · Answer

A proper injection of filler in the lip should not leave a palpable collection of the filler. There are only two possibilities I can see, other than a localized bruise. One, the injector have created a few distinctive deep base points with very viscous filler then used a "thinner" filler to shape and evert the lip. The "base pints' however, are very small and should not be felt as a "lumps". The other possibility is the filler was just injected to inflate the lip.It has been shown over and over again that the latter "method"  bring no aesthetic results, makes natural curvature impossible and uses much more filler volume that is needed. At this point, unless it is very visible, the time will show the end results. If the lumps are annoying and/or visible, you could see your injector to smooth it out or you could  massage the lump and try to move your filler away from the lump.It may require a sustained pressure to displace the filler. Good luck!
