How long before Restylane bumps in tear troughs go away?
I had Restylane injected in my tear troughs 9 months ago. After I had it done, you could see a little bluish mark under each eye where it had been injected and what looks like half moon ridges there under my eyes as well. There were hard bumps on each side of my eyes as well that I was told to massage with a hot cloth very hard.
The bumps, I thought, went away but recently I can notice them again and they are very hard and the ridges and bluish marks under my eyes never went away.
I am very self-conscious and petrified to see someone, only to have it made worse. Will it ever go away? What should I do? Please help.

The injection of restylane and juvaderm to the tear trough can last up 2 years and if you do not like the result it may be because of injection in to fat pockets. The best thing would be to consult with your doctor and he may inject it with Wydaze(hyaluronidase) to dissolve any remaining restylane
A: Restylane
The bumps that you have from Restylane can stay around for a very long time especially if it was injected very superficially. This can last 1 year or more. Sometimes hyaluronidase can "melt" the restylane.
A: All depends on the anatomy
It should go away if it is only Restylane . By 12 month most of this material is gone. The discoloration could be from pigmentation from bruising at the time of injection.This could require more treatment

A: There is hope
Ssafe, There is hope. If you have not had hyaluronidase injected into the lumps, then it is worth a try. The Restylane is made from hyaluronic acid and hyaluronidase can help break it down so the body can absorb it. However, if you have formed scar tissue which is making the lumps, then this is only have... more

The bluish discoloration... more

I also have lumps caused from Restylane injections(under tear trough) and they persist after 2.5 years. I had Hyaluronidase enzyme injected twice in the area but my problem still persists. Please advise.
