SkinVive…. 12 days post-op Juvederm Volite, face is now clumpy. Is this normal? (photos)
Actual RealSelf Patient Comment: I had 1 ml Juvederm Volite injected in my face. Its now been 12 days, and my skin look MUCH worse than before the treatment. I used to have very smooth skin, now its really clumpy and not at all what was expected. Has something gone wrong. I am posting photos just after treatment, 1 day post, 1 week post, and 12 day post. The doctor who did it says its normal- but nothing online tells me it is.

Dr. Persky’s Reply: Volite, now FDA approved for use in the United States as SkinVive, is a hyaluronic acid that must be precisely injected at the proper level of the skin, the deep dermis. If it is injected too superficially, it can form the bumps that have developed on your face. The product effects can last up to 6 to 9 months. If your bumps persist, they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. This adverse event should be avoided by choosing your expert injecting physician carefully based on their training, certification, knowledge, experience, skill, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.
