It is very common for patients to experience bumps on their skin after dermal filler injections. These lumps and bumps usually dissipate within a couple of weeks, but if they are painful or have a firm consistency, it may be an allergic reaction. In general, fillers injected into very mobile areas of the face, such as the lips, wear out more quickly than fillers given elsewhere. However, when done correctly, patients should not feel anything but softer and more supple lips.
It can take up to two to three weeks for the filler to settle and the lumps to go away. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm Volbella XC are popular and well-received for their natural and long-lasting results. However, if you want more volume, there are other types of fillers available. Restylane is a dermal filler that is similar to Juvederm Vollure XC in that it is FDA approved for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds by adding volume to the area.
If you used hyaluronic acid fillers to create moderate improvements to your lips, these facial features can look very thick for a couple of days. It is important to give your tissues time to heal after dissolving hyaluronidase fillers before injecting them with new filler; hyaluronidase will cause some swelling, which could affect the accuracy of the injector. In conclusion, it is normal to feel bumps on the skin after dermal filler injections. These lumps and bumps usually go away within a couple of weeks, but if they are painful or have a firm consistency, it may be an allergic reaction.
Restylane is another type of dermal filler that can provide more volume. It is important to give your tissues time to heal after dissolving hyaluronidase fillers before injecting them with new filler.
