I had silicone butt injections 5 years ago. Is it best to “massage” an area that seems to be hardening up a little?

Silicone injections in the buttocks and skin
Massage will help the area, however, the nodules and hardening may require more aggressive treatment. I see many of these patients with silicone injections and have developed an regimented protocol for correction of the inflammatory component.

Massage for silicone buttock injections not recommended
This is probably not going to produce any improvement and will likely cause the silicone to be more dispersed, the consequence of which is unknown.
The silicone is permanent and massaging the product 5 years after injection is unlikely to cause any significant change.
