Could massaging your face after Voluma injections cause lumps?

Thank you for your question. Lumps immediately after Voluma injection are common. However, they should not persist by week 3. Without photos or an in-person consultation if it difficult to determine the cause. It is possible the Voluma was injected too superficially. I recommend you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation. If you are unhappy with the lumps, it may be possible to dissolve the Voluma with hyaluronidase. 

Thank you for your question. Lumps are a known side effect of Voluma and tend to subside within 2-4 weeks of the procedure. I suggest that you abide by the recovery instructions your board certified facial plastic surgeon provided. It is also important that you remain patient. 

Best wishes,

Thank you for your question in regards to Voluma. Swelling, bruising and small lumps are common post injections, although should sub-side within 2 weeks. If you are feeling still feeling lumps, the filler may have been placed too superficial. If you are unhappy with the appearance, hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the Voluma. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

If you are unhappy reverse the filler with hyaluronidase, this may take several treatments because the cross linking is very tight. Often, RF treatment helps to improve results. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is not unusual for a patient to feel lumps immediately following a Voluma treatment, but it is odd for them to pop up 3 weeks later. You need to be assessed in person by your surgeon. And if you didn't see a qualified injector, schedule a consultation with one for a second opinion. You may need to have the filler dissolved.Kindly,Kouros Azar
