A slight bump after Juvederm is normal

Why does Juvederm leave a bump after the injections?

Every time I get Juvederm, I develop a little bump, like a bug bite. Is there any way to avoid this?

When dermal fillers are injected the material expands the surrounding tissue. This is normal, and may cause some raising of the skin surface.

Over a few days this subsides to a flatter surface, while maintaining the cosmetic improvements for the life of the filler. The duration of the filling effect will vary with the type, location, and volume of filler used.
