I have read many people complain of bumps after having Restylane or Juvaderm injections and others who love them. Are the bumps caused by user error or is that a possible side effect ? I am researching having wrinkle fillers. Although I am realistic and know I won't have the face I did 30 years ago, I also can't see doing this and finding my wrinkles less noticeable, but that the bumps have taken their place. Also, about how many cc's does it take on the average person to do around the nose, mouth and upper lip area?

Answer: Filler bumps Hyaluronic acid can cause bumps initially when injected for several reasons:-injection technique- deposition technique can involve the use of placing droplets which may settle down over a period of weeks-bruising- early bruises can cause the product to swell and create lumps-clumping of product- too much product placed too close together can clump together-improper viscosity- too viscous a product can create a more palpable bump, in particular thinner skinned patient

Answer: Filler bumps - they can serve a purpose in the right setting We never want to see bumps, but bumps can sometimes serve a useful purpose. Sometimes, a small bolus of filler under the skin "tacks" the skin up and helps it to drape better. These bumps act as scaffolding under the skin. Sometimes, especially initially, the patient can feel them. But, we never want to be able to see them.Bumps that we can see are the result of filler that has been placed too unevenly and too superficially. Sometimes the bumps will resolve on their own; sometimes they can be massaged away; sometimes they have to be dissolved, unfortunately.

Answer: Injector skill 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.

Answer: Bumps related to swelling or bruising from injection 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.
