3 days post Restylane to tear troughs today. Is it normal when touching the area to feel the Restylane under skin?

Meikameo
The injected sites under the eyes feel like firms pads when I slightly feel the area (same firmness as a mosquito bite, minus the itching). Just curious if it will soften with time or will it always remain firm under the skin? I am Asian and my cosmetic surgeon said she preferred using the needle/syringe technique versus the blunt cannula because Asians generally have thick skin and she can get deeper? Does this sound right? Any answers are appreciated!
