Can Restylane Become Encapsulated and Cause a Scar?

I received Restylane in my tear troughs in Jan. of 2010. The next day I noticed a small, catepillar-like lump underneath the eyelid. Nearly 15 months later, it's still there. I thought I would wait it out, since Restylane only lasts 6-9 months. Now, I'm wondering if the superficial placement of this bleb of filler caused a scar to form around the material, or if the bleb is still Restylane. I'm afraid to have hyaluronidase injected if it's really a scar. What are my options?
