I had one syringe of Restylane injected yesterday for undereye circles.I have no bruising.However, I am rather "lumpy" with one lump beneath left eye and two smaller ones beneath the right. The areas are still tender. Is this just swelling that I should leave alone and allow to diminish, or will these lumps likely harden and set in place....meaning they should be massaged? I was instructed not to massage, but am seeing some doctors on this site who recommend it. If that's what I need to do, I want to proceed while there is more malleability.

Answer: Lumps after Restylane Injections
Lumps and nodules are one of the side effects that could occur after a filler injection. It is not unusual to have a very small lump at the site of the injection, but this swelling should resolve within a few days. Before massaging the area, I recommend visiting your doctor so that he/she can take a look and give you proper instructions. Your doctor may want you to refrain from touching the area to see if the lumps resolve. If after a few weeks, you are still unhappy with your results you could have hyaluronidase injected to remove the Restylane. Please keep in mind that the skill and training of the injector is extremely important. The less experience and education the injector has, the higher the risk of error. Good Luck!
