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

Asked By:Meikameo in Burlingame, CA

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!
