Is it normal to feel (not see) Restylane-Lyft under skin by pressing it with my finger, even after four months?

Question

Not sure if it's normal... First time I had this filler.

Thanks for the question.  Lumps, bumps and swelling are all normal shortly after treatment. As your body acclimates to the product these lumps should resolve. Since it has been quite awhile and you still feel the product, I would suggest returning to your injector. If needed, they can dissolve any remaining filler with hyaluronidase. Best of luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question. It's perfectly normal to have a lump or bump after injection of dermal fillers. However, these typically resolve on its within a few weeks after treatment. If you feel a lump, but are not able to see the product, I suggest returning your injector for a second look. If needed, they can easily remove it with hyaluronidase.

Thank you for your question. Injections around the eyes should always be done by someone with extensive injection experience. However, even with experienced injectors, you may get a bump or lump. This may be due to the injected material, a reaction to the material, a bruise, or just swelling.
If the area does not smooth out over a few weeks, then it may be necessary to inject the area with a special medication (hyaluronidase) which will help dissolve the product. The hyaluronidase breaks apart the hyaluronic acid which is found in Restylane and Juvederm products.Best of luck!
