Swelling and lumps in the nasolabial fold after Restylane
Restylane is a very popular and effective hyaluronic acid-base dermal filler. It has been used widely throughout the face for the correction of deep lines and wrinkles.

At this point, it would be too late for massage, heat or similar modalities. I would return to the physician who placed the Restylane and have them put in Hyaluronidase. This is an enzyme that breaks down the Restylane (which is made of hyaluronic acid). This is a simple procedure and acts as an eraser.
