Lumps after Juvederm marionette lines and lip lines. Will it eventually go away with time?

Question

It's been almost 2 weeks and I had juvederm in marionette lines and lip lines . I still have lumps .. Will it eventually go away with time ?

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Typically these lumps will go away after 2-3 weeks.  If they are bothersome than you should return to your injector and have the lumps assessed and possible softened with hyaluronidase.

Kyle Coleman, MD · Answer

Lumps and bumps can be normal the first few days after filler due to swelling around the product.  After about 10-14 days, usually lumps and bumps will not disappear and need to be treated with small amounts of hyaluronidase.  Massaging usually doesn't help much if lumps are persistent.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

These should resolve soon. There can be some swelling and/or lumps for 1-2 weeks after an injection. If you're unhappy with your results then, you can have it dissolved and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Depending on the amount of filler placed into both areas you may still have small lumps from treatment.  I recommend allowing a full month to pass and if any remain, then your injector can dissolve the lumps with hyaluronidase.  Hope this helps.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The lumps will slowly subside over time.  You may want to consider gentle massage of the area to help smooth them.  If you wish you can return to your injector to have the product dissolved with hyaluronidase.
