Swelling Near Nose and Eye Area After Juvederm

I had Juvederm put in my nasolabial folds. I was swollen right after and Icould feel a bar of it on one side of my nose (above the nasolabial fold). The swelling has gone down a bit now, but I'm a bit concerned because the side of my nose looks raised. I tried to massage down a bit, but I got more swollen and now have a bit of swelling up towards my eye as though I had recessed circles under my eyes. What shall I do? I'd appreciate any info please.

Juvederm bump can be reduced with hyaluronidase

By massaging the "bar" of Juvederm by the side of your nose, you may have spread it further up towards your eye.

Juvederm lump

If Juvederm or Restylane (hyaluronic acid) results in a firm lump that does not subside after several days to one week, and if that lump is visible (most often it is more palpable than visible), it can be removed by injecting hyaluronidase (an enzyme) into the area. This should only be done by a physician familiar with the technique. The good news is that any adverse lumps will eventually go away on their own, without treatment, usually after 3 to 6 months.
