Hi pp,

Discuss your concerns with your physician.  Fortunately, Juviderm is a hyaluronic acid and can be broken down by the injection of Widase or Vitrase.  

For small bumps, light massage may help.  Sometimes I will carefully use a small needle and make a small puncture over the bump and gently squeeze the excessive product out.  Do not attempt this at home!  Return to your treating physician or someone qualified to correct your problem.  Good luck and be well. 

Dr. P

Bumps after Juvederm

Although Juvederm is one of the smoother facial injectables, it can occasionally cause lumps and bumps.  Depending upon where these bumps are, you can usually address these by using gentle massage to even out the product.  Be careful, however, about too vigorous massage since this may tend to break down the product and reduce duration of effect.
