Bumps around nose bridge after filler? Could this be caused by the filler? (Photo)

Question

I got a filler injection in my nose bridge to make it more prominent two to three weeks back. Recently, I've discovered that a large bump has formed on the bridge, very close to the injection site and to where the filler is supposed to be. The bump doesn't hurt when pressed, it just feels solid. Is it possible for your body to reject filler?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

If too much filler was placed in a small space, just below your eyebrows, it is conceivable that you are feeling too much product. Depending on your condition, it may be amenable to the dissolving enzyme. My best advice would be to visit with your doctor for evaluation and care. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Base on the photo, it's likely filler that's not evenly distributed or gathered afterwards. In most cases, bumps are correctable. I would recommend to see your injector for a follow up appointment to received more accurate assessment and treatment.

Thanks for the question and the photo. 
Your body wont be rejecting the filler however there are a few other things that could be possible. It is possible that the filler has been irregularly placed (or placed too superficially) and some swelling had been masking this until that had settled. Finally, it might be that you have developed a granuloma or a low-grade infection. If you are worried I would certainly return to the doctor that injected you to discuss your options moving forwards.
Good luck.

This is likely filler that has gathered there.  It can easily be reversed with Hyaluronidase.

Tal Dagan, MD, FACS · Answer

the bumps are uneven remnants of injection of the filler. They do not represent your body's reaction but rather aliquots of the filler mayerisl that werent distributed evenly during the treatment. Depending on which filler was used there may be a way to reverse or treat the bump.
