Causes of Hyaluronic Acid Lumps
Disease description:
I underwent hyaluronic acid (HA) injection rhinoplasty. Although my nose appears somewhat more defined and elevated compared to before, I feel a palpable lump or hardness upon touching it. I suspect that the area hasn’t fully recovered yet. Could you please explain why lumps sometimes occur after HA injections?

Hello,
If you are dissatisfied with the shape of your facial features, hyaluronic acid (HA) injections may be a suitable option for contouring and volumizing. In addition, HA can also help tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles. However, if firm nodules or lumps develop after HA injection, this may indicate incompatibility between the filler and your skin tissue. In severe cases, vascular occlusion may occur—this is a serious complication that must not be taken lightly.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
