Lump After Juvederm Injection to Nasolabial Folds

Juvederm injection to the nasolabial folds is a great option to fill mild to moderate creases. It usually requires 1 to 2 syringes and can now be performed with only topical anesthesia with Juvederm XC. The most common immediate side effect is bruising and swelling which may last for up to two weeks. It can be reduced with proper injection technique, an epinephrine containing block and local ice application. The bumps you are experiencing are likely small bruises or hematomas which should resolve. Ice applied to the area every 4 hours for 15 minutes will help reduce this. If they are present for over 2 weeks, then this may represent a collection of the Juvederm under the skin which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. It is too early to tell, so be patient and apply ice.

I hope this helps.

There is a chance that this is swelling, overcorrection or a small hematoma which is a collection of blood under the bruise. You should see your doctor to evaluate and possibly treat this area. If it is overcorrection it can be dissolved with the addition of hyaluronidase.
