I have multiple granulomas after getting Juvederm/ volumen injections. What can I do now?

Question

Thomas Fiala, MD, FACS, FRCSC · Answer

Hi.  True granulomas are quite rare after HA gel injections, such as Juvederm or Voluma.  Lumps that are not granulomas are much more common.  These may need time & massage to settle in, if the injections are recent.  Otherwise, you may want to return to your injector and have the HA lumps dissolved with hyaluronidase.  This should improve your situation.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase and RF treatments such as exilis ultra or venus legacy can help to soften the area. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for
your question hkingsley2. I understand your concern. Juvederm is a
filler used to restore lost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. It is difficult to make an assessment without a formal exam and without knowing when the treatment was performed. Lumps and bumps are normal for 2 weeks after a treatment and massage helps to smoothen them out. Granulomas can be treated by dissolving the product. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

If your injections were recent (within the last couple of weeks), these are normal and may be improved with some massage. If not recent then schedule an appointment with your injector to discuss having the filler dissolved. However, keep in mind that it can take as much if not more skill to dissolve filler than to place it. Best of luck.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

most doctors use different technique in injection fillers. It is possible that your doctor used bolus injections with the filler and you may possibly feel the lumps Under the Skin. As long as the lumps are not visible, you have no discomfort and your result is pleasing, you should leave it alone. If on the other hand you see and feel the lumps under the skin or there is discomfort, you should definitely return to the treating physician and let him or her resolve this issue.
