Also to know is, how do you fix lumpy lip fillers?

Why does my filler look lumpy?
For injectors
If a filler is injected too superficially, it can cause lumps. They can also occur when too much product is injected into one area, or the product moves to create a large deposit in an area. The injector should also take precautions to avoid bruising as much as possible.
