Our injectable experts have taken the time to outline the common side effects of lip filler treatment . Whether you are looking for a plump pout or natural looking lips, lumps in filler can be distressing. Below we arm you with the tips and tricks to avoid lumps and share the common side effects for lip fillers.
Watch a demonstration of a lip filler procedure at VIVA including consulation, before, during and after the dermal filler procedure.
Lumps are actually a common side effect after a dermal filler or lip filler treatment. Often they are a short-term problem, but if not, they are correctable by an aesthetic medical professional.
As with any injectable treatment, it should be expected that there may be some common side effects that may even require some downtime. After a session of lip fillers, you can expect your side effects to include the following:
These common side effects typically keep to the area of the injection site, in this case, the lips, and will subside after a few days.
Feeling a lump of any kind can be quite a nerve-wracking experience, mainly if you’re not used to aesthetic treatments or if it is your first time. Not to worry though, lumps following a filler treatment are completely normal.
The lumps you may experience are often caused by swelling and bruising of the treated area. We would not recommend massaging or using force to reduce the lumps yourself, as this may impact your final results. However, if you do experience lumps, contact our clinic, and we can help to massage the lumps out of your lips carefully.
If your lumps last longer than two weeks, they may have been caused by congealed hyaluronic acid. Although this cause is rare and uncommon, this can be corrected by injecting hyaluronidase into the lump. Hyaluronidase, like hyaluronic acid, occurs naturally in the body and is used to dissolve filler when needed.

Treated lips should heal within a few days but we always recommend allowing 2 weeks for them to completely settle. Allow 4 weeks prior to any upcoming events, for any tweaks to be made.
The duration will vary from person to person as everyone is different, but in general, you can expect a duration of 6-9 months.
At VIVA, we specialise in natural-looking results that enhance our clients’ features rather than change them. We always take a conservative approach to procedures, beginning with a touch of product and adding more if necessary. Generally, for new patients, we recommend just 0.5ml to add a subtle volume to plump and fine-tune the lips. It’s also important to us to consider every individual and develop a bespoke treatment plan for each and every client, ensuring personal desired results are achieved. We, therefore, provide in-depth one-to-one consultations with every treatment package.
