Any filler can create bumps and lumps

Mark Berkowitz, MD answers: Can Radiesse cause lumps inside cheeks?

Almost 4 weeks ago, I had smile lines injected with Radiesse and was very pleased with the visual results. However, I now have some very large knots on the inside of my cheeks. I feel it has something to do with the injections, since they certainly were not there prior to the injections

Radiesse is a terrific filler for temporary diminishment of facial line and wrinkles.    All fillers should look smooth once swelling  from the injection decrease.  Many fillers may not feel completely smooth especially during the initial healing period.  Some of these "knots" may be the filler  or could be caused by bleeding (hematoma) or a reaction to the filler.  Return to your cosmetic surgeon who performed your injection and he/she should be able to help you diminish this knot.
