largo07Dec 20, 2018

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?

Renuva should not be injected into the lips. It is intended to be injected only where fat naturally exists in the body. Renuva is perfect for volumizing areas of the face and body, like the cheeks, hands, breasts and buttocks. I recommend a hyaluronic acid for filling the lips instead.

I am constantly impressed with the long-term outcomes patients have experienced with Renuva. In terms of side effects, many patients experience redness and swelling in the injected area – which usually resolves with a day.

Renuva is great for improving laxity and replacing age-related volume loss in your neck. Renuva is not like anything we've been able to offer our patients, because it contains naturally-occurring growth factors and collagen, which helps improve skin tone and texture, while restoring volume!...
