Tags: cheeks, lips, 4 days post-op, lumps

The RN who did the injections, when questioned said the lumps would dissolve into the muscle in a few weeks. Is this true?

I massage the lumps and bumps out after injecting Perlane and Radiesse. If you can feel, but not see the irregularities, IMHO there's nothing to worry about. If the lumps are visible at 2 weeks, a touchup maybe in order and you should go back to the person who did the Perlane injections.

4 days is not very long, but...

If you get a bump from the injection of per lane, it is unlikely to settle down without being adjusted. The Juvederm products tend to even themselves out with a little patience. This is not a bad thing. It means that the volume of the Perlane will hold where it is placed. This is a very useful characteristic. You can humor your "nurse injector" by waiting a few more days. This is a shame because with a little pressure these bumps can... more
