Bumps from Restylane

Steven Hacker, MD answers: How should I deal with bumps and bruises after Restylane?

I had a Facial Plastic Surgeon inject this filler under my eyes on September 5th, and they've caused certain bumps and bruises. I've had to hide since, wondering how to deal with them. Should I massage them to even them out? I'm very desperate. It was a very expensive treat for myself after 2 years of tragedy and illness, and I did this in anticipation of an event abroad that I've been working towards for 10 years. I am desperate beyond words. Please help me out.

The best way to deal with bumps from Restylane is to show them to your dermatologist and most of the time, "time" itself will resolve all bumps. On occasion , the "bumps" can be surgically removed but I dont recommend that. Restylane is not permanent so I have never seen any permanent bumps from that treatment. Patience and gentle massage are the two best approaches.
