Uneven areas of dermal filler that sit on the skin are a common occurrence after Juvederm injections. Fortunately, these bumps and lumps are usually temporary and will resolve on their own within a few days. In some cases, it may take up to two or three weeks for them to completely disappear. Bruising and swelling around the injection sites can also cause lumps.
This is a normal side effect of Juvederm injections and should subside within the first week. To reduce the risk of bumps and lumps, it is important to select a professional with extensive experience in this procedure. If you do experience lumps after your Juvederm treatment, there are ways to reduce and eliminate them. Massaging the area within the first two to seven days can help reduce the swelling.
If the lumps are caused by frozen hyaluronic acid, injecting hyaluronidase directly into the lump can help correct it. It is also important to follow your doctor's instructions after your Juvederm treatment. They will advise you on whether you are a good candidate for Juvederm treatments and how you should expect your body to respond after each one. By selecting an experienced professional and following their instructions, you can reduce the risk of bumps and lumps after your Juvederm treatment.
