How long after a hyaluronic acid injection can bumps appear?

Marita61
I had hialuronic acid injections in my cheekbones in May 2011. A month ago a small, hard bump appeared under my left eye close to my nose. It is now about 3.6 cms. I went to several doctors and the dermatologist thinks it could be due to that hialuronic acid injected years ago. Could that be possible?
