1 day after 1ml in my chin and jaw by cannula, there are lumps in my jaw. Is it normal? Will it go away? (photos)

Question

I got 1ml in each sides of my jaw and 1ml in my chin just over a day ago, (Juvederm) The procedure itself was very painful for me. The jaw filler was done by canulas. However now I have lumps and my jaw isn’t a straight line (pictures). Is this normal? And will it go away? It’s also still quite sore. It was administered by a registered practitioner by a well known company, so nothing dodgy hahah, Thank you!

Hello and thank you for your question. We would always recommend seeking a face to face consult for the best advice and treatment plan however from the information you have provided yes 1 day after treatment it can be normal to still feel the filler-you must give it a couple of weeks to settle. If you are unhappy with the results after that then please go back to your injector.
Always seek an experienced and qualified practitioner for any of these treatments. I hope that helps, best wishes

Thanks for your question and I appreciate your concern. It is not unusual to have some swelling after injecting dermal fillers into the jawline. The cannula is often the tool of choice for sensitive areas like this because it reduces bruising risk. I would wait 2-3 weeks for the swelling to subside and then see how your results look. If you are still unhappy at that point, you can schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor for an in-person assessment and further treatment if necessary. Luckily, Juvederm can be reversed with a dissolving agent.

Swelling is not uncommon with this procedure and can take up to two weeks to resolve.  Gentle massage of the area may be helpful.  If after two weeks you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.
