I had perlane a week ago on my nasolabial lines and was concerned about formation of lumps. They were not seen but critically felt after the injection. So, according to some replies received to my previous query, these lumps should be massaged out. They are normal after a week or two, most doctors said (even though one of you said "not really normal"). However, after initial swelling, no bruises, it looks really beautiful,despite some lumpiness still there. Why should I massage them out?
As long as the collection of Perlane ("lumps") are not visible and they don't bother you, you don't have to massage them out. Eventually they will probably be softened by the natural processes in your skin. Even if not, they don't pose any threat to you and are not permanent. If you feel they are visible or they bother you, you may massage them out, although I personally like to massage/mold the filler in my patients myself, to make sure that the original correction is not reduced by too much massage.
