Lumps after Juvederm injection are common

Although not entirely normal, it is common to have lumpiness of areas injected with Juvederm. The lumps usually resolve with massage after several days. If the lumps are still present after 2 weeks, consider following up with the individual who performed your injections.

It's normal to feel a few lumps right after Restylane or Juvederm.

The hyaluronic acids are a gel substance that has a real volume. Often patients are surprised they can feel the material in their skin after injections. Depending on the doctor's goal, some of these areas may feel lumpier than others, especially from inside the mouth. If these areas don't show as lumpy from the outside, then it's a matter of whether they bother you from the inside. The physican can gently massage the lumps during injection to smooth the contour, but you... more

Juvederm and lumps

Lumps after fillers can occur. I will often massage them out when I am performing the treatment.  I will also tell my patientst that if they feel a bit "lumpy" to either come in for me to correct it, or lightly massage it at home.  This usually does the trick. Sometimes lumps can be bruising.

Lumps after Juvederm

Feeling lumps and bumpa after a Juvederm or any filler is common. The lumps usually resolve itself but after two weeks if you still feel them you can massage the area.

Juviderm and lumpiness

Juviderm is soft and integrates readily into the skin.  After injection, you may notice a little firmness, but that should disappear in a few days.  Gentle massage can be done if you feel some lumpy areas.  Within a week, however, the areas of injection are normally soft and without lumpiness.  Check with your doctor and let him tell you what's going on.

Lumps after Juvederm

Since the procedure was only 4 days ago I would not be concerned. They will fade in a few days. Just softly massage the area and it will be fine. If they are not gone in two weeks go back to your surgeon for a follow up.

Lumpy ridges and bruising after Juvederm

Juvederm is an excellent hyaluronic acid based injectable that can be used effectively for facial contouring. It may be possible to feel this dermal filler under the skin shortly after the injection. Your best bet is to place a cold compress on to this area and to gently massage this filler. If you continue to feel this palpable threat or if it becomes visible, return to your doctor as they may choose to remove some of the filler or help melt the filler with the injection of another... more

Should not have lumps after Juvederm.

Hi. You should not be filling lumps after Juvederm injections.  Go back to your doctor right away.  Even, after a few days, massage can help smooth things out.  But don't blame the Juvederm. Lumps are related to technique.

Lumpiness after Juvederm

It can happen at times. If the lumps are not painful and are not easily visible then don't do anything. If they are visible then get hyaluronidase to get them removed. If they are painful then either you have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics or you have herpes (cold sore virus) and need anti viral. Regards
