I got Juvederm lip fillers at a Dr's office, and almost 2 years later I still feel bumps in my lips. I went into a plastic surgeon's office to receive lip fillers, and it is almost 2 years since and although the filler has dissolved (and I never got fillers again). I can still feel a lump on my bottom lip that I felt initially when I first got them done. The lump has not gone away in 2 years, is this normal?
Answer: Lumps in lip months or years following filler injection Unfortunately, this is much more common than reported. Immediate lumps can be massaged but lumps that persist or even form months after filler injections to the lips is usually due to granuloma formation or local tissue reaction and not necessarily due to clumping of product. I recently treated such a case from a patient who recently moved to our area. Her injections were performed by a reputable surgeon but she formed granuloma's. I used two rounds of hyaluronidase and steroids very judiciously in the areas with thicker tissue and no steroids and only hyaluronidase in areas with thin skin. Reports of the use of 5-FU and other injections have been made but I have not had to use this on any patient.

Answer: Hyaluronidase Hi @curious010. You can dissolve the lump with a small amount of Hyaluronidase. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications.

Answer: Reverse bumps with Hylenex Longterm filler problems include migration, edema, and nodularity. Filler migration and permanence is a very common problem because there are many different types of HA fillers on the market and each is specified for a specific part of the face. Use of highly cohesive fillers on thin skin may cause swelling and nodularity. If patients have filler migration or nodules, we recommend a combination approach of filler reversal with enzymes Hylenex and Hyaluronidase in different strengths to dissolve the filler. We may also need to add Kenalog to the mix in order to reduce fibrous tissue. If the filler does not dissolve, it either means the filler is not HA material or we need more enzyme. The HA reversal can be combined with other lasers and skin treatments at the same time, and it usually (usually) does not affect adjacent tissue.

Answer: Bumps in lips from fillers Hi, if you received a hyaluronic acid filler in your lips, the product should have dissolved by now, however, we do find that sometimes, it can persist for years. If you have not done so already, you may want to see if it will dissolve away with hyaluronidase which is an enzyme that will dissolved the HA filler. Check with the doctor who performed the procedure to see if this is something they are experienced in doing, if not you can find someone who is.
