Juvederm in the nasolabial folds. One area is lumpy and bumpy. Is this normal?

Question

I had the Juvaderm injections at the nasolabial folds and in one area it is a little lumpy, bumpy, is this normal, should I massage it or leave it alone? Thank you.

Alexander Rivkin, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  If your treatment was done recently, lumps and bumps can be caused by normal tissue swelling and/or bruising.  If you are still experiencing this up to 2 weeks after your treatment I would go back and have your injector take a look at the area. Meanwhile, you can gently massage the area to see if you can improve it yourself.  Luckily, Juvederm can easily be dissolved with hyaluronidase if the bumps do not resolve.  Best of luck.

I'm not sure when you had your injections, but there can be some lumps and swelling for up to 2 weeks after fillers. Firm massage may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Hi there, if the area treated feels lumpy, you could consider massaging it, but ask your doctor of they recommend it, and if that isn't effective you could consider reducing that prominence with hyaluronidase injections.Hope that helps and best wishes, Dr. Donath

Thank you for your question! I would contact your treating physician if one side is a little lumpy and massage it gently until you return to the office.  Juvederm is a fantastic treatment for the nasolabial fold and for the lower face as well. Best of luck!
