Getting dermal fillers is an easy way to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance your natural beauty. But let’s be real—sometimes, small lumps or bumps can appear after treatment, and that can be a little unsettling. Don’t worry! It’s usually temporary and totally manageable.
Why Do Lumps Happen?
A few things can cause these little bumps:
- Injection technique – If the filler isn’t placed deep enough, it can gather under the skin.
- Filler type – Some fillers are thicker than others, making them more prone to lumping.
- Your body’s reaction – Everyone’s skin reacts differently, and sometimes it just needs a little time to adjust.
How to Smooth Them Out
If you notice a small bump, here’s what you can do:
- Massage it gently – Light, circular motions with clean hands can help spread the filler evenly. Try the “rule of fives”: 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days.
- Use a moisturizer – A little hydration makes massaging easier and helps your skin settle.
- Give it time – Most small lumps disappear on their own within a couple of weeks.
- Check with your provider – If a bump sticks around, your injector might recommend a quick touch-up or a dissolving enzyme to smooth things out.
Prevention is Key
Want to avoid lumps altogether? Here’s what helps:
- Choose an experienced provider – Skill matters! A good injector knows how to place fillers smoothly.
- Follow aftercare instructions – Avoid touching your face too much and let the filler settle.
- Be patient – Fillers need time to integrate, so trust the process.
