Is it possible to flatten filler out after 2 weeks?

Some lumps after filler treatment is very common. Massaging them can help to smooth them out. If they are quite noticeable and problematic, dissolving them (assuming its hyaluronic acid based) is an option as well.

A quick follow-up with your injector is likely warranted.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello Friendly290337! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. I am sorry to hear this! If the filler you received was a hyaluronic acid based injectable, then it is possible to remove the lump entirely with a hyaluronidase injection to dissolve the filler. I hope this helps!

Hi there! Typically 2 weeks out you are okay to continue to massage the area if needed without fear of moving the filler around. If a patient has a filler lump or bump, we do recommend prolonged massage to make sure the filler integrates smoothly with your own tissue!

Massaging the area can definitively help you with the lumps, but if the lumps persist, you could get hyaluranidase injections on the area to help dissolve the filler and completely solve the lump.

At two weeks from treatment any swelling will have resolved. If you did not massage too aggressively it is unlikely that you negatively impacted your results. If the bump is still present and concerning I encourage you to return to your injector for an evaluation.

If the filler was done with Hyaluronic acid and the lump persist for a longer period the doctor can remove the lump with hyaluronidase injection
