Juvederm Concern

I did a Juvederm treatment 5 months ago, around the mouth area, the parenthesis, the right side got better results than the left, it is flat and the line is less visible, my concern is that the left side is still bumpy on the inside and the outside too, I still feel 2 big bumps when I touch the skin, I feel that inside, and when I look at the mirror it looks more bumpy, the left side is flat. What do you think happened?. Are these bumps going to go away someday, that scares me. And sometimes I feel a slightly pain on that side, please help.

Juvenderm is a natural product that is found throughout all of our bodies (hyaluronic acid).  The injected product is metabolized over time and will completely disappear.  This may vary from several months to up to a year.  I would expect your lumps to completely resolve over time.  If they persist you should be evaluated by your injection physician.
