Hi, I had juvederm about 5 weeks ago to my lip area and a tiny line one a wrinkle on my forehead. After the injection I had swelling which on my lips went down but on my forehead was around 2mm all around it. My nurse said it was swelling which could take a couple of weeks to settle and to leave it. 4 weeks after treatment I gently rubbed up and down once to help smooth it and it seems to have aggravated it more still being swelled. It isn't red but is a little uncomfortable. I can notice the swelling at certain angles and light. I am worried it will stay like this and hope the fluid around it will settle. By rubbing it whats the worse damage I could have done? I don't mind that the treatment wasn't successful but will I be left with this until it wears off. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you
Generally, if you have waited a full week and it’s still not good, it’s time to go back to your doctor/nurse to have them look at it. There is an easy way to eliminate Juvederm bumps which is outlined in this article! Hope this helps, Dr. I
