I had cheek fillers done about 7 hours ago and above my right cheek there is a decent sized lump. Is this normal? Should I massage my cheek to try to smooth it out ?
Answer: Cheek filler Hi @ochiexx! Lumps and swelling can occur after dermal fillers. can be typical. I would recommend massaging the area and applying ice. I would wait a full 2 weeks before dissolving the lump with Hylenex. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Should I have a lump after my cheek fillers? Thank you for your question. Hard to say much without exam or photos. You are only hours post procedure. if the lump is hard, enlarging, and painful please get ahold of your injector right away. Typically small contour irregularities may be present for a few days post op. Ice will also sometimes help. Please make your injector aware of your concerns.

Answer: Post Fillers Sometimes people can get lumps, or bumps after fillers. They typically subside in size over time. It is recommended to apply ice after fillers to help with the swelling. Following post care instructions given to you by your doctor is very important. I would recommend contacting your injector for further questions and instructions. Wish you the best, Dr. Longwill.

Answer: Lumps after Fillers--Wait 2 weeks Swelling and/or lumps can be typical. Icing and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.

Answer: Lumps and swelling after fillers I always tell my patients to allow a full 2 weeks for fillers to settle down, especially if its your first time getting them, as you are not used to how its supposed to look. 80% of the time, fillers look great and settle in nicely immediately, 20% of the time, there is swelling and bruising that can occur and this can cause some lumps that will resolve. I assume you have a follow up with your injector so keep the follow up and follow the instructions given to you.
