Should I massage the lump after Juvederm ultra filler? (photos)

Question

I got the juvederm ultra filler about 36 hours ago and I'm wondering if I should gently massage the lump I have? Is there a best time to wait before massaging the lump so you don't move product around? I'm scared I'm going to ruin the shape of them or create more lumps as I've been very careful so far. what kind of technique should I use? Just massage the small lump or the entire bottom lip?

Thank you for your questions and photograph. I would speak with your injector to ask for tips on how best to deal with this nodule.  Smaller nodules can usually be softened with light massage, and time, but larger nodules may require administration of a medication to help dissolve the JVD.

if you have concerns such as lumps, bumps, bruising, or others following any type of injectable treatment, I strongly recommend reaching out to the person who administered the injections for advice as to how to manage this.  Best of luck.

From the pictures that you sent, it looks like you have some irregularities from your injections. I would recommend that you see your doctor and review your concerns. There may be diferent causes for this and, therefore, different corrective actions.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Massaging the lump may be helpful but if the lump does not go away in a few days, you should go back to your doctor to consider options for treating this.

Lawrence Osman, MD · Answer

It is unusual to get a nodule like that after injection.  You can try massaging it with your fingers or a cotton tipped swab.  However, it would be best to see your doctor especially if it doesn't go away with moderate massage or if it is painful.
