Juvederm results have diminished after 7 weeks

I had Juvederm injected into my lips about 7 weeks ago and initially loved the results. There are 2 problems however:

The results seem to have diminished significantly already. I can hardly tell that I had the procedure done now. Also, there is a bubble like bump on the underneath area of my upper lip. It looks clear almost like a blister, but it is not.

We find that hyaluronic acid based products like Juvederm and Restylane
do not last very long in the lips because of the amount of movement. We
find that our Restylane lasts between 3-9 months with the lips about 3
months, the nasolabial folds (laugh lines) about 6 months and the tear
trough area (under eye) about 9 months. This is because the lower face
has much more movement and so the product degrades more quickly.

As for the bump, talk to your practitioner about whether that
needs to be dissolved with hyaluronidase. It sounds like the product
may have been placed too near the surface of the skin. If it is in fact
superficial product, he/she should offer to remove it.
