Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

Filler-related nodules and granulomas, even late developing ones, can usually be shrunk with the use intralesional injections of anti-inflammatory agents, such as triamcinolone in an appropriate concentration and amount. If necessary, additonal anti-inflammatory agents may be used instead or in combination in more resistant cases. Make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

Dear J.ka,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
