It : It is not possible to give you an answer without more information. The best thing to do is go back to your injector when you have the bumps and ask them what is going on and how to treat it. Injection site bumps occur for a variety of reasons. The most common cause of injection site bumps is a small amount of swelling from the needle. This tends to resolve in 24 hours, and can be minimized with ice and light compression after your treatment. If the bumps are due to the filler being injected too superficially, a correction on administration will help as can light massage. Over doing the massage can lead to flattening of your results.

Injection : Injection site bumps are quite common and may occur for several reasons; inflammation, residual product in dermis, bleeding, etc. Depending on the cause, avoidance of Aspirin 10 days prior to injection, pre-treating with anti-histamines as well as ice and pressure immediately following injection may help to diminish the length of time they are present.
