Can corticosteroids really help on ellanse nodules?

I'm really sorry that this has happened to you. It is for this reason that I ceased injecting all permanent and semi-permanent fillers quite a few years back and continually caution my regular followers against their usemmediately --especially since such complications can appear five, ten or even twenty+ years later. Admittedly, treating these complications can be quite difficult. However, over the years I have been able to treat patients with gratifying results who have come to me with these issues (having been treated with permanent and semi-permanent fillers elsewhere) using an algorithm of varying combinations, concentrations and amounts of anti-inflammatory agents, which can include triamcinolone when indicated. You would be wise to make sure that you are consulting with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Sorry to hear that you developed nodules after Ellanse treatment. The recommended treatment for nodules or granulomas is steroid injection. It may also be worthwhile doing subcision and saline injection to "break up" the Ellanse collecting under the skin. In extreme cases, surgical removal is required, but that will leave a scar on the face and is not cosmetically acceptable to most
