Are you worried about Juvederm and Restylane injections? You've heard horror stories and now you're concerned about the possibility of bumps or lumps after the procedure. The good news is that these bumps and lumps are usually temporary and will go away on their own. It's actually quite rare for patients to experience irritation or lumps after the procedure, but if you do, you should expect them to dissipate after a few days. At most, it can take 2 to 3 weeks for them to completely disappear with minimal downtime.
The most common cause of bumps or lumps after treatment with Juvederm is swelling and bruising from the injections themselves. These should naturally subside within the first week. Usually, a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm and Restylane can be massaged within the first 2 to 7 days after the injection. This varies depending on the thickness of the HA filler.
In a nutshell, an HA filler that lasts 12 months will have a thicker formulation than an HA filler that only lasts 6 months. Your own massage skills will help reduce and eliminate any lumps, and a repeat visit to your injector may also be enough (if you weren't born with that special touch). The best thing you can do to make sure you don't have any Juvederm lumps is to see a good plastic surgeon. They will advise you on whether you are the right candidate for Juvederm treatments and how you should expect your body to respond after each one.
When frozen hyaluronic acid is the cause (which usually occurs if fillers from the Juvederm and Restylane families are used), it can be easily corrected by injecting hyaluronidase directly into the lump. So, in conclusion, yes, those annoying lumps of filling will disappear. It's rare for patients to experience irritation or lumps after the procedure, but if they do, they should expect them to dissipate after a few days with minimal downtime.
