Is it normal to feel hard lumps under the skin after a Voluma injection?

Thank you for your question. You are early in your post procedure course. Usually the patient sees the start of the neuromodulators, (Botox Dysport, Xeomin), working at day 4.  The fillers usually see some result early, but some modulation continues.  In our office we have patients come back at 2 weeks for their check on their neuromodulator or filler.  At that point, most of the swelling is usually down, and we have an idea of the result.  This may be delayed if the patient has a bruise.  Often, asymmetry can be improved.  If you desire more volume, most practices would charge you, as they have to pay for the product, etc.  Please make sure your well trained, experienced injector knows your current status.Jeffrey J.

Thank you for your question. Injections of Voluma may lead to redness, bruising and mild swelling. Tenderness, lumps, discoloration and itching are also side effects that can possible occur. Side effects will fade within 2 to 4 weeks, leaving enviably youthful cheeks. Please review your recovery instructions and progress with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  After injection with any dermal filler it is not uncommon to have small lumps or bumps present in the skin.  Over the next 2-3 weeks the filler will absorb water and soften.  Allow your results a bit more time to mature, you should see steady improvement.
