Will Bellafill lumps subside or should I get a steroid shot? (photo)

cougar1980
I had 1/2 syringe if Bellafill injected at each corner of mouth. 3 months ago. And 1/2 syringe injected into each marionette. lumps 2 weeks after. My dr states she can inject a steroid or I could wait. One of the lumps is located on side of lip which appears as beginning of a cold sore. A cold sore did develop there approx 3 weeks after injection but has come and gone since. will all eventually subside. Should I get steroid shot or just wait? And what about use of tumeric supplement instead?
