Lumpy Lips

Hi can you advise me, I had my top lip filled with Restylane Lipp on Saturday...although the swelling has gone I have a few lumps in my lip. One in particular is bothering me as it's large and feels a bit numb. You can also see it as it is making that side look mishapen. Is this normal?


hi,
yes, this should be quite normal.
its very common to get some bumpiness right afterwards that resolves after a week or two.
i wouldn't worry about it. one thing you can do is massage the lip to try to smooth it out gently.
that should work well.
if it doesn't resolve soon, talk to your injector and see what he or she recommends.
hope that helps
