Bumps in lip 2 weeks after injection - will this improve? (Photo)

Question

I had Juvederm injected into my top & bottom lip two weeks ago. I'm happy with the results on the bottom because it looks natural & smooth but the top is full of lumps & uneven. I saw my doctor today and he said the Juvederm feels even to him & that injecting Vitrase would not fix this. At this point, I don't know what to do and I'm wondering how long before the product wears off/is less noticeable? I'm so upset & wishing I hadn't even had this done :(

If it bothers you, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. It may take a series of treatments to get improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated.  You do have a number of bumps along your upper lip which likely indicates that the JVD was placed too close to the lip surface.  This may resolve given additional time, but if they do not disappear over two additional weeks I would recommend having your injector dissolve them with Vitrase. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. After two weeks it is unlikely that these bumps will go away. I suggest having them dissolved with hyaluronidase. Please remember that some of the filler that you like may be dissolved as well. If you have any other concerns please contact your injector. Best of Luck!

Hi Mom from Little York,
I tend to think that these lumps are not going away without Hyaluronidase or serious massaging.  I juts think that it may have been injected too superficial and needs to be removed.  The good news is that you can do something about it and fix it relatively easily.  Good luck!

You can give it a few more weeks but my gut feeling is that it probably will not improve without injecting hyaluronidase to dissolve the product
