Lumps under eyes after juvederm

There seems to be a combination of things going on here. There is certainly bruising and that will resolve. Some of the bumpiness might be bruising but I am concerned that it might be product. You can apply warm compresses and gently massage this to see if it flattens at all. You might see some improvement over the next week or two but might end up wanting to dissolve some of this.

Burising and possible hematoma

Nice photograph, when enlarged it looks like there are multiple fine areas of bruising along both sides. The prominent bluish-red mass on the left side to me looks like a small hematoma, or bleeding into the deeper tissues. Were you on any anti inflammatory agents-Aspirin-or any blood thinners such as Plavix or Warfarin? Patients on these agents are susceptible to bruising and bleeding. If it is a hematoma it can take some time to resolve. Some local heat... more
