Hardening and pain a month after Juvederm. What could be wrong?

Question

Last month I had Juvederm injected into my nasolabial folds. Yesterday I woke up and the right side felt bruised and was hard where the product was placed. This hasn't gone away. The area is also painful to the touch. What could be wrong?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This isn't typical. I recommend following up with your injector for a formal evaluation. If necessary, this can be reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Please see your doctor for assessment.  It is possible that an infection needs to be treated or some of the Juvederm needs to be dissolved.

Chase Lay, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I am sorry to hear that you are having some pain at the injection site. The pain and hardened area after a month of filler injection are unusual symptoms.  It is best for you to get full evaluation by your injector or a board certified dermatologist.  Wishing you the best of luck.

Christian N. Ford, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  What you describe is unusual.  I would recommend seeing your treating doctor as soon as possible in order to make the correct diagnosis.  Infection is one possible cause of your symptoms.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

It is unusual to have hardness a month after injection. You should see your injector to see if you are ok and do not have an infection.
