10 days ago I went to my plactic surgeon for a minor facial "tweak" procedure and another round of Juvederm in nasal labial folds. I also had him inject the 111's, and now have vertical bumps/ridges ABOVE THE INJECTION SITE! Prior to that my forehead was cometely smooth when my face at rest. Now I have ridges above the injection site. I've had Juvederm injected here before (different Doc 1yr ago) & it worked like a dream in conjunction w/ Botex. What could have possibly gone wrong & what c JT

I Have New Bumps/Ridges Above Juvederm Injection Site on Forehead, What Went Wrong?

There are two possible sceanrios for the ridges caused by Juvederm injections into the Glabellar lines (11's). The juvederm was placed in either too large of a volume (most likely) or too superficially within the skin (less likely unless the ridges are white). The other possible explanation is that the Juvederm is along side the artery/vein/nerve complex that travels within the Glabellar crease. There have been reported instances of fillers, used in the... more

Forehead/Juvederm

If it has been longer than a week and you are still feeling lumpy, than it is likely that too much product was used. Ak your provider about an enzyme that can dissolve this issue for you.

Juvederm sounds like it's too shallow

It sounds like the Juvederm was injected too superficially, making it ridge, which is what often happens with Juvederm on the forehead, around the eyes, and under the eyes. You can have this countered with hyaluronidase injections.

Juvederm causing lines

Photos would be most helpful but it sounds like the juvederm is too close to the surface. This can be corrected with hyaluronidase. Your doctor will be be able to do this and you should be fine.

Different results from Juvederm injections with a different injector

Please remember, the experience and technique of your physician injector is the most critical part to your achieving a beautiful, natural result. However, even in the most experienced hands things don't always go as intended. Hyaluronidase is the perfect solution to reversing an unwanted result.

Using Hyaluronic Acid to Correct Skin Creases

The correction of creases and well-defined lines requires that Juvederm (or another hyaluronic acid (HA) product) be placed superficially in the dermis. In many other instances and areas of the face these HA products are placed in the deep dermis or subdermal plane. Creases do not expand upward easily and therefore can be somewhat difficult to correct. To smooth creases you often have to try to push a bit more filler into this narrow superficial plane just below the crease in an... more

Juvederm and Ridges

It sounds like your Juvederm was placed too superficially or your injector used a bit too much. Juvederm can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase. This works extremely well and will not harm your normal skin. Please return to your injector to be evaluated.

Bumps

Pictures would be helpful. But from your description it sounds like the Juvederm is too superficial on the skin. You may want to consult with him, so he can take a look.
