Will Vitrase injection help with Juvederm lump?

As I related in an earlier post, I had Juvederm injected into the upper forehead area about 10 days ago. To say this is a nightmare would be an understatement. Instead of filling the wrinkle area, I am left with a visible bump. In addition, the track from the needle remains visible, and finally, unless I am going crazy, at a downward angle from the injections sight, there are three reddened spots that are connected to the needle track.

Thoughts? Prayers? Will getting a Vitrase injection help this or make it worse? Should I just let it go with time?

A: Vitrase for Juvederm bump

Bryan K. Chen, MD

Although the bump will eventually self-resolve, this could take months.  Massaging the area would help flatten the lump out.  Weekly injections of small volumes of Vitrase would be beneficial.  I usually suggest returning to the treating physician to express your concerns.  Good luck.
