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.

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

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.

Lumps can be formed after injection with fillers . Normally they resolve within 2 weeks post injections. Gentle massaging helps with resolving the lumps . If unhappy with result , verify with your injector for treatment plan .

Fillers can form into lumps that can be felt under the skin.  They don't need to be dissolved unless they are bothersome or not aesthetically pleasing. If lumps are noticed early they are likely to be able to be massaged out. However, if they do not resolve on their own they may need to be dissolved with hyaluronidase. 

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.

No, most filler when placed properly should be imperceptible. You should be able to see or feel them. If you have lumps, please discuss with your provider. If it is an HA, it an be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
