Massaging Hyaluronic Acid Filler - Is It Worth It?

Question

Why Do Some Say Massaging a HA Filler Does Nothing?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

In my view, there is no need to massage an area injected with hyaluronic acid unless you see or feel a nodule. The filler is somewhat malleable for a few weeks after you're injected. So if you're inadvertently overcorrected and see a nodule, massage may help to smooth the area.

I massage fillers after plaecment in specific areas to smooth it out.   Still it may not be completely flat and may be maskedby some swelling after injection. I will recommend massaging of fillers if a patient feels lumps after treatment a few days after treatment.
