Is it a good idea to massage a foreign body granuloma? I have one under my eye, diagnosed by a surgeon. My thinking is that by massaging, I may help to break it up. My worry is that I may somehow enlarge or worsen the issue.
Answer: Steroid Injections for Granuloma Hi Matt. If it is a granuloma, then steroid injections (such as Kenalog) my be required to dissolve the bump. If a surgeon diagnosed it as a granuloma, did he/she offer this as an option?Also, granulomas normally do not occur with Hyaluronic acid based products like Restylane, Juvederm and Belotero which are commonly injected under the eye. Is it possible it's just a small area of product that was not placed well? If so, it would likely go away with time. If you want to dissolve this kind of bump, it would be with Hyaluronidase injections.

In our office, we use a combination approach that includes injections, surgery, laser, and RF to break up the granulomas on the face. Massage with a silicone gel such as Plato's Scar Serum can also be of use. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
