Best way to get rid of Restylane bumps

I had restylane injected under my eyes to get rid of the extreme dark rings that were there. A few days later I noticed that bumps appeared in that area which looked like saddle bags. I went back to the Dr. and he said they would go away within a few months. Months have passed and I STILL have the same puffiness that I encountered a few days after I had the procedure. I am completey beside myself and beyond words upset of how I look. He told me that he could inject "HYALURONIDASE" into the area to rid the restylane, but, now tells me that you cannot get that solution anywhere. Plese tell me what the BEST answer could be as, again, I want to rid these horrible bumps as soon as possible! Gwen, Ocean, NJ
