Is it normal to have hard lumps right after Renuva injections?

Question

I just got 3cc of renuva injection and there are hard lumps on the injection site. (Upper cheeks and side cheeks) Is this normal? I thought it was suppose to be injected deeper where the fat is but I feel like the doctor didn't really injected it deep enough? Will this lumps eventually go away? Can there be a complication/problems in the future?

Ellen Marmur, MD · Answer

You may get nodules or small lumps forming after a Renuva treatment, if it is not diluted or injected correctly. During the treatment, your doctor can smooth them out using massage and/or with the use of saline solution. 
The lumps will dissolve over time, but it's best to consult your doctor if you have any concerns post treatment.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

If Renuva is not diluted correctly, lumps, knots or blobs can form under the skin. Your doctor can massage them out during treatment, or inject saline to further dilute the Renuva.

The lumps will disappear over time, but if you have concerns, it's best to reach out to your doctor.
