Are fillers supposed to leave lumps under the skin?

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.

Immediately after injection it is sometimes possible to feel lumps beneath the skin.  This generally will resolve over a couple of weeks.  Sometimes gentle massage can help smooth areas of concern.  If you are still noticing lumps after 2 weeks, return to your injector for an evaluation.

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.

No, properly placed filler shouldn't leave visible lumps. Some swelling and firmness is normal and will resolve in 1-2 weeks after an injection. If lumps persist, the filler can be reversed with Hyaluronidase and a different technique can be used next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to feel some lumps under the skin after filler injection. The lumps usually reabsorbed with time. You can gently massage them to help smooth them out. If the lumps do not resolve your can have them dissolved with hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!
