Why Does Juvederm Leave a Bump After the Injections?

Avoid Juvederm bumps with good technique.
Hi.
It is not the Juvederm that causes the bumps, It's how it is being injected. You need a doctor with a good eye and excellent technique.

A slight bump after Juvederm is normal
When dermal fillers are injected the material expands the surrounding tissue. This is normal, and may cause some raising of the skin surface.
Over a few days this subsides to a flatter surface, while maintaining the cosmetic improvements for the life of the filler. The duration of the filling effect will vary with the type, location, and volume of filler used.

It's the filler (the injector), not the filler (the product)
Technique is critical when injecting fillers. The injection of the product should stop about 1 mm before the needle is removed, otherwise product will be injected too superficially as the needle is withdrawn, creating those little bumps.
Any bumps that are present during the injection session should be massaged out before you leave. Fortunately, over the first day or two, the product absorbs some water from under the skin, and the bumps resolve.
Remember, it's the filler, not the...

Juvederm Should Not Leave Lumps or Bumps
Injecting filling agents such as Juvederm or Restylane is very much technique- and physician-dependent. In other words, the doctor must know what he or she is doing, and many do not.
When you inject Juvederm, if it is too deep, it is absorbed by underlying tissues and does not specifically fill the wrinkle. But if you inject too superficially or too close to the surface, you can end up with lumps. Generally, these will go away within a week, but for persistent lumps, you may need to undergo...

"Bumps" after Filler Injections
Thank you for your question. In my practice, it is very uncommon for patients to have any palpable lumps or bumps after filler injections. If this is happening each time you receive fillers, with the same practitioner injecting, perhaps you should try out a new injector. There are specific techniques used when placing fillers so that these issues are specifically avoided. Best of luck!

Why Does Juvederm Leave a Bump After the Injections
If there are bumps present this is usually caused by the injector (Physician) not the dermal filler. If there are some bumpy areas they can be massaged out. Good technique is essential.

Bump after Juvederm Injection
It isn't actually the juvederm causing a "bump" it is the actual "injection." The better the technique, the less likely this will happen. If it does you can massage it out that first day.

Why Juvederm would leave bumps
It's difficult to answer your question without knowing more info. For example, have you had this same reaction no matter who injects (do you always go to the same injector or does this happen with several different injectors), does it happen in every injection site on your face in all different anatomic regions or always in just one spot. If you only get your lips injected, does it always happen for example in the left corner of your mouth or does it vary? Have you...

Juvederm/ Bumps
It can be that there is minimal swelling after your treament. Juvederm is actually still soft after it is under the dermis for the first 24 hours, so you can use massage to the site to flatten out any lumps. For future treatments, do make sure that the provider is experienced in the placement and tecnique of the product.

Lump after Juvederm injection, how to avoid this?
Juvederm and Restylane are meant to be injected within the layers of the skin and as such can cause localized lumps and bumps if not massaged smooth following the injections. perhaps ypu could ask the MD that does the injections to either inject the Juvederm deeper and/or massage the injected area smooth immediately after the injections.
