I had Juvederm injected into my cheek area for volume. This resulted in a lump on each cheek which then traveled down my face over a two year period. These lumps are not dissolving. What should I do?
Answer: Lumps in cheeks I would agree that you should confirm what product was used to add volume to your cheeks. Juvederm normally only lasts for 6-12 months before your body breaks down the product. If it is Juvederm, you can have it dissolved with Hyaluranidase.

Answer: Juvederm lumps This story doesn't make much sense. Juvederm should dissolve after about 9-12 months in almost everyone. So it would be very unusual for it to still be there. Also, it doesn't migrate after injection - maybe if you push on it right after injection you can get it to move but not from one area of the face to another. And it should not produce a firm nodule. So wondering if you had something other than juvederm injected?? You need to see someone who can inject some hyaluronidase. If it is Juvederm it will get better.

Answer: Lump in cheek after Juvederm While lumps can occur if the Juvederm is not injected properly, it is unusual for the lump to travel down the face and even more unusual for the lumps to not have dissolved by 2 years.I recommend that you review these results with your physician. Likely the best first treatment to attempt would be to use a Juvederm dissolving agent. If this fails to treat the lumps, then the lumps are due to something other than the Juvederm product itself. Rather, it may be an inflammatory reaction to the Juvederm known as a granuloma, or other more unusual problem. Best Regards,Dr. Stutman
