White-ish Bumps 7 days post Juvederm in lips

Question

I am wondering if these whiteish bumps will potentially go away within the next few days -- what are they?? I can feel them when I run my lip over them. It has been 7 days.

It appears to be "lumps" of product placed too superficially.  This is nor they way it should be.  You should return for hyaluronidase that will dissolve the product.  Then you can decide if you want to be re-injected by someone else with more experience.  I'm sorry, at least it correctable!

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Juvederm is an excellent choice for lip augmentation. However, one must be very careful when injecting the lips, as asymmetry and visible bumps can occur. In your case, it appears that the Juvederm may have been injected superficially, but there is no way to truly tell from a photo. I would recommend that you visit your physician so that they can then determine the cause of the white bumps. The good news is that since Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filer, this situation can be corrected if necessary.

Dear Sandy, 
Its a difficult photo to assess but from what I can see the filler may have been placed superficial in the lips. This can then be seen and felt when you run your tongue along it. The good news is that Juvederm can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyalase. 
Book a face to face so that your lips can be assessed in person as a photo is not always accurate.
Wishing you all the best.

It is difficult to assess from the picture alone, but it appears as if the Juvederm may have been injected too superficially.  If the bumps are not improving or mostly resolved in the next week (second week post treatment), I would call your doctor (who did the injections) immediately.
