Are fillers supposed to leave lumps under the skin?

Good afternoon, Lumps forming in the treated area is normal for the first few weeks following a Juvederm procedure. They take some time to settle. Gentle massaging of the treated area is recommended by some doctors.

Thank you for sharing your question. After filler injections, it is normal to experience some lumps in the injected areas temporarily. In my experience, it can take up to two weeks for these irregularities to completely settle. If lumps persist beyond the two week mark, it would be advisable to follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Sometimes, gentle massage can be utilized to help break up lumps, or if necessary, hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler. Be sure you are seeing an experienced injector for your filler treatments.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Depending on the timing of your filler placement you may see or feel small lumps.  Immediately after treatment you will have some swelling at the site of the needle injection but this should dissipate within 24 hours.  Over the next 1-2 weeks you will see and feel softening of the filler material which should resolve any lumps.  If after this time any contour irregularities remain you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase.  Hope this helps.
