Juvederm filler for enhancing labia majora has left little bumps. Should I try to smooth or not?

Kate2014Oct 4, 2014
I had 2 syringes of juvederm put into my labia majora to make it more puffy. the doctor had put it there before (I asked if it was possible and he did it for me) he just filled small wrinkles so there are small bubbles of the juvederm I can feel there-he said not to massage it but I'm not sure that's the best technique? will I always be able to feel these bumps of filler should I massage the areas of juvederm? How many days before they are solid and not malleable? Thank you so much for your help

The gentle massage when you apply skin products probably won't displace the filler at this point. Just be gentle when applying for another week or two if you're very concerned.

First of all, it's early after an injection and so things will probably continue to improve.  However Juvederm is well known for causing more swelling in the eyes than other similar products.  Other alternative hyaluronic acid products like belotero and restylane are much safer for...

Lumps can be a side effect from filler injections. It can take approx a year for filler to dissolve. You can attempt to massage the area to speed up the metabolism of the product.

I would recommend waiting 3 days after a lip injection before using Flex - Away, this allows the product to settle. Fillers to the lips are often metabolized quickly due to constant movement. Flex - Away may contribute to dissolve product.
