Juvederm for Acne Scars Left Skin with Bumpy Appearance - is This Common?

User Avatar

I had Juvederm injected in various areas of my face with the intention of making acne scars less noticeable. That was accomplished, but the trade-off was visible lumps - I find this to be no more desirable than indentations, as I now look like I have an acne breakout 24/7. The filler was injected last December - 5 months ago. These areas also tend to be red and a bit sore to the touch. Surprisingly, the doctor that did this has a lot of experience. Is this a common result?
