Should I Have a Large Lump Afterwards?

To give an update, the swelling has gone down drastically and it is still a little firm but not rock hard anymore. I do,however, have a couple pea sized lumps still. I have been massaging them diligently but they don't seem to be going away, any suggestions?

I had Radiesse three days ago on my chin for an indented scar & the treated area is still hard as a rock & swollen, is this normal? It looks & feels as though somebody stuck a jawbreaker in my chin. Should it still feel this hard afterwards? I'm freaking out, seeing as how I've never had this happen with other fillers..

I had Radiesse a few days ago on my chin for an indented scar & the area is still hard as a rock and puffy. I too didn't expect to look so horrid afterwards, neither my doc or the website mentioned the intense swelling & lumping directly following. I have no idea how long it takes to settle but right now I look like a freak,with almost a golf ball sized lump on my chin. The website says you can go back to work immediately, it's day three and I still can't go in public! I have a vacation in a couple weeks & hope to god it looks better by then or else I may be cancelling. I never expected it to look so hideous and feel so painful afterwards :(

Thanks for the info, I went through those two topics but couldn't find an exact similar situation. Going on day two now & it's still rock hard & very visible from the outside. I have been massaging it as advised to no avail. From everything I've read, Radiesse is supposed to feel soft & require "no down time." I can't go out in public because of the giant lump on my chin, I have a sales presentation Friday, I'm stressing out that it's still going to look like a deformity by then! Does anyone if this large lump is normal? It's not a little pimple, it's the entire area of my chin where I was injected. How long should I expect it to remain like this? Any input would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks again..
