Rippling and Lumpiness in Injection Site from Filler?

In general, the side effects of treatment with filler may include the following:

1) Lumps
2) Swelling
3) Bruising
4) Redness around the injection site
5) Asymmetry

After one week, it is not abnormal to have some bruising. At this stage, lumps or bumps can be due to swelling. If they are the result of excess product, the lumps can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. The rippling will likely resolve over time. I would recommend giving it another week and see how you respond. If necessary, a board certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon in your area can be contacted and they can have a look. I hope this helps, and good luck.

Lumps can be caused by swelling and/or excess product in the area. Bruising can occur after the injections and will resolve over time. It is best to wait around 2 weeks before evaluating the final result, as swelling may interfere with the appearance. Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve excess filler if necessary. I would recommend communicating these concerns to your physician if possible, as they know the details of your procedure and will be able to provide you with advice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

It seems as though most early 'complications' with lumpiness are associated with swelling. If the problem persists more than a few weeks, you may need to seek further expertise. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
