Is this a "correct application" after a hyaluronic acid injection on nasolabial folds?

Asked By:kaandereli

i had 0.5 ml injection of hyaluronic acid on both nasolabial sides. After 24 hours, the doctor told me that he will do a massage on the injection area to avoid lumps. Yet what he meant by massage turned out to be a hard pressure onthe injection area by 15 seconds. Is this kind of "massage" is a common applications following 24 hours by the injection?
