Lumps and bumps usually resolve on their own, oncethe filler starts to get incorporated with your own skin tissue. It would bebest if you book a follow up appointment with your injector in 1-2 weeks, andhe/she can massage any residual lumps or bumps at that time.
Bumps that are related to product can be massaged out by your injector. However, if it's more of a reaction and superficial, then it could be something else. Have your injector assess them.
If there are “bumps” after the injections, you should go back to see the injector. The MD, RN or NP can assess the bumps and see if they can dissolve them with an injection of hyaluronidase or make them go away with a laser treatment like the ReFirme or another method of their choice. You don’t necessarily have to wait until the bumps go away before getting more injections.
Having bumps from your Juvederm injections is not a normal thing — so if they are still there when the medicine is going away, you really need to question the person that injected you and to make sure that they have some skill in this field. So, first and foremost, find a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who know the anatomy of the treatment areas, know the products better than most, and know how to deal with problems or concerns if they arise, which they should have in your case. With lumps and bumps after injections, one should be massaging the areas to try to minimize these. If this does not work, one would most likely recommend using some hyaluronidase to the areas to make the lumps disappear. Lumps after injections are not normal.
If you have "bumps" from juvederm and they can not be massaged down, then you may need hyaluronidase to dissolve them. I would hold off injecting any other product until that is resolved.
