Complication from filler in nose, Cat scan shows nothing on nose but swelling in cheek, advice? (Photo)

jscheef
I had Restylane filler placed in my nose + chin 6 months ago. Had no problems with the chin. The nose caused swelling, pain and tingling so I had it dissolved 6 times! The first dissolving treatment was only two weeks after it went in. I later developed two very hard nodules that are lighter than my skin and extremely painful. I can not even work! I have done many antibiotics, 4 rounds of oral steroids and two cortisone w/ 5-fu . Cat scan shows nothing on nose but does show swelling into cheek
