Why Do I Have Cyst Like Lumps After Having Restylane Injected into my Face 2yrs Ago?

Question

I have been on steroids for 2yrs now after having restylane injected in my face, I had an ultra sound which discovered lots of small cyst like lumps I can't come off the steroids as soon as I do my face swells and hurts. I have cholesterol deposits under my eyes caused by the steroids my doctor has never seen anything like it, can anyone help.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I suggest you have an in-person evaluation with your medical provider, he/she can possibly inject hyaluronidase to dissolve the lump

Rigo J. Mendoza, MD · Answer

You really need to get a  second opinion.  I have never seen anyone be on steroids for a long period of time because of Restylane.  If the cysts are Restylane, it can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase.

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

Cysts due to restylane should be directly injected in hyaluronidase which will break them up. Perhaps you would benefit from a second opinion. Reasonable doctors consider second opinions particularly when encountering something that has been seen before.
