Unless the lumps are very sore and painful there’s no need to panic.
Lumps are actually a common side effect after a dermal filler or lip enhancement treatment. Often they are a short-term problem, but if need be, they are totally correctable by a trained aesthetic medical professional.
The most common cause of lumps after a filler treatment is swelling and bruising from the injections themselves. These should naturally subside within the first week.

Hi I’m
Enquiring about hard lumps in my lips I had fillers objected 7-9 years ago four or five times I’m left with multiple hard lumps and my daughter is the same any advice on getting them dissolved or removed ?
Hello Jane,
As a general rule the sooner they are dissolved the easier it is- there is a high probability that this was a slow-burning reaction which layered the bodies immune cells around the filler and lay down collagen- so the lump is probably 99% the bodies own collagen now, and reversal is unlikely to have an immediate effect.
These lumps do sometimes spontaneously disappear after many years though. The reversing agent is not likely to make an immediate difference sadly. Some doctors inject a steroid which can help, and if they are very problematic they can be removed surgically too.
Kind Regards.
Hello
I had my marionette lines injected with revolax (Which I discovered after injection) about 10 weeks ago. I have A symmetry and lumps on one side only. The medical professional who performed the injection has confirmed that she will not dissolve and will not help me further. She also refused to give me an email address for her or her trainer. Can you help? She mentioned something about possible haematoma which is beyond her skill set and this makes me very worried. I would be grateful for any advice.
Many thanks
Hi Jane, sorry to read about your experience. You’ve done the right thing in going back to the original practitioner as a first step and it is disappointing to read that they are unwilling or unable to assist. We do stress the importance of always seeing a trained and insured medical professional for these procedures. Those who do not have the same level of training can unfortunately be less knowledgeable or equipped to help should things go wrong.
If you’re keen to get the fillers dissolved and unable to get help from your original provider, our aesthetic clinicians can offer filler reversal at SkinViva. The normal price for this is for £350 (subject to confirmation after examination during your consultation). This fee is deducted from the price if you choose to have re-treatment with SkinViva.
If you’d like to book an appointment or discuss this further with our team, please feel free to get in touch via 0161 865 1141 or contact@skinviva.com. We hope you’re able to get it sorted soon.
Hello,
I had restalyne fillers done about two years ago and by now I can tell that the fullness in my lip has dissolved but I do have hard lumps when I feel my lip and one in particular feels very pronounced. I felt in some time after I have fillers but now I feel it and see it more than before.
Hi,
If your filler treatment was carried out by another provider, we would recommend that you come in to meet with one of Aesthetic Clinicians in the first instance.
If we’re able to go ahead, we would charge £350 for the reversal but if you were to subsequently have had your treatment at SkinViva, the £350 paid for the reversal can be used as a credit against treatment.
Our consultations are free of charge, so if you’d like to book an appointment, please feel free to get in touch via 0161 865 1141 or contact@skinviva.com.

Hello.. I am in such a desperate need for help! I received lip filler injection 4 weeks ago and got hard bumps and swollen, the swollen gone down quite a bit but the hard bumps stayed the same. I went to a DNP and decided to try to dissolve them .. two hyaluronidase injections later and the bumps still the same .. what could possibly be the reason that those bumps won’t dissolve and how should I proceed ? Please help.

Hi, I am reaching out because I need help. We were, with my friend messing and injected an uninjectable serum into my lips. It’s a disaster. I am drinking medicine for antihistemine but the bumps don’t go away. Please help. What steroids name from the pharmacy, will it help in this situation?
Hi Lina, unfortunately our clinic is currently closed and we wouldn’t want to recommend anything without seeing the full picture. The best thing to do would be going to the walk in centre so it can be assessed by a doctor. I’m really sorry we are unable to help at the moment.
