Bumps on hands after Restylane injections.

Question

I had Restylane injections on my hands two weeks ago and at first they looked great but now I developed bumps on my hands that start small and seem to get bigger. Could this be from the injections and will they go away? Maybe I injured my hands working out? There are several bumps all over.

Daniel Levy, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with your physician to determine whether these are filler bumps or a reaction to the filler, or something else.  In the future, I'd recommend a thicker, more cohesive gel for filling hands, such as Voluma.  This is less prone to forming lumps in hands.Good luck!

Robert H. Cohen, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. At this time all swelling should be resolved. If the bumps now, "seem to get bigger." , it may be a reaction to the filler used. Alternatively, it may be that the filler particles coalesced together forming these bumps. I have my patients massage their hands for the first 3-5 days after to maintain a more even distribution of the filler. I recommend returning to your physician for evaluation. He/She may decide to try using an enzyme to dissolve the filler and the bumps.
Good luck and have a wonderful day.

Hello,Any potential swelling would have resolved by this time.  Therefore, it may be possible that you are observing product/filler that has not blended well and is giving the appearance of bumps.  Returning to your injector for an assessment is recommended.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice without seeing photos or examining you in person. However, Restylane can feel a bit swollen and lumpy after injection, but this usually resolves within 1-2 weeks after injection. It is not common to be developing new lumps 2 weeks after injection. I recommend following up with your injector for evaluation and treatment. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to give you advice without seeing a photo or examining you in-person. It is common to have swelling and lumps after filler injection, which can take up 2 weeks to resolve.  However, developing new lumps after 2 weeks is very rare. I recommend having a follow up with injector to have this evaluated and treated. Best of Luck
