I have had many hyaluronidase injections over the past 3 months to remove the lumps created by a previous plastic surgeon. Are they any other procedures that can be used to remove the lumps and restore my cheeks back to normal???

Answer: Lumps from Juvederm Hylenex and Vitrase are the 2 commercial forms of hyaluronidase that will completely dissolve Juvederm. It may be that not enough product was used to dissolve it or that there is some bruising in the area. If you've had other fillers in the area, this may be causing some of the issue. Juvederm slowly gets absorbed by the body, although this can take several years at times, but massage often helps and skin tightening treatments such as Ulthera and Thermi smooth can melt the product as well. Sometimes just gently massaging the area 2 times per day for 2 minutes for a month or 2 will gradually lead to improvement without further traumatizing the tissue. You need a consultation with an injection specialist to determine the best course of treatment though.Best of luck

Answer: Time Really time generally will take care of it. you might want to try massage the area to see if it helps speed up the process.
