I had Juvederm done on Friday for my nasolabial lines and marionette lines. I expected swelling (which I had, and is reducing) but didn't expect hardness under the skin. It feels like two hard lines running down the nasolabial lines. Is this normal? And if so, how long will it last?

Answer: Hardness or lumps are rare, but treatable Juvederm Injections on lip area can sometimes couse some temporary reactions such as swelling, tenderness, brusing, redness, and also as some patients report, the feeling of uneven hard lumps. Usually, condition like these should resolve on its own within days. You could try to massage gently the injection site. It is always recommended to contact your physician to make sure he is aware of your concerns. A quick check up is always a good idea. In rare cases, the lump should be treated with an enzyme called Hyaluronidase that can dissolve the Juvederm.

Answer: This is common, but talk to your doctor Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane create some of their beneficial effect by drawing water into the area, expanding the material, and creating the plump and full appearance you desire. Depending on your skin type, the amount of filler injected, and the technique, this can sometimes cause the thick feeling you describe. Usually it abates in a few days, but I would discuss it with my plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
