Raised Line Where Juvederm Was Injected

I had Juvederm injected and I can feel the "line" raised up. Can it be smoothed out after injection, or is this the way it's supposed to be?

Rasied line after juvederm

If there is an area where perhaops the filer was placed too superficially, it may lead to a raised appearance. This can sometimes be massaged to flatten or may require hyaluronidase to dissolve it.

Juvederm

if the area is still raised and visibly noticable after several days, then your doctor can inject hyaluronidase to dissolve some of the filler. Juvederm Ultra is used for more superficial planes than Juvederm Ultra Plus. Provided the correct filler was used, and the right placement and appropriate amount, then you may notice a very good result to develop once the inflammation subsides.

Try Message

Try Message. Take a Q tip and gently message the line. It should go down as the hyaluronic acid embeds itself among its fellow HA molecules. If the problem persists after two weeks you might return to your physician for hyaluronidase injections. These enzyme breaks down the HA, but you should be tested first, especially if you are allergic to bee stings.

Raised or visible line from hyaluronic acid fillers (i.e, Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, etc.)

A raised line after Juvederm injection may be present for 2-3 days after injection. Thereafter, it generally softens. If it persists consider off-label use of hyaluronidase after a skin test.
