Restylane and Juvederm Bumps - What Causes Them?

It’s not unusual for small bumps to occur following Juvederm
injections. These bumps occur at the
site of the injection and are related to the injection technique. When Juvederm is injected close to the surface
of the skin these bumps commonly occur. They can be prevented by avoiding superficial injections. Once they occur, they can be treated with
massage. In most cases, a response is
generated within a week of this maneuver.The
volume of filler utilized in any particular case depends on the patient’s
physical findings and aesthetic goals. In the majority of cases, 1 to 2 syringes will be necessary.If
you’re concerned about this problem you should consult your physician. Your physician should be able to make an appropriate
recommendation.

Juvederm is an excellent filler for facial wrinkles.  Bumps are caused by the technique of injection.  Of course even with the best technique you can have bumps.  Make sure that the person injecting the Juvederm is a board certified plastic surgeon. Nurse injectors just do not have enough skill, training, education, or expertise to inject fillers.

Bumps tend to be due to swelling or bruising from the injection itself. If it is bruising that forms, I would recommend using arnica gel, which is a herbal remedy that can help to minimize swelling and bruising after your treatment. I would also recommend that your physician apply ice prior to your treatment to help minimize your risk of swelling.It is difficult to say how many cc's on average is required, since everyone is different.
