One year ago, I had Restylane injected into my cheek. It instantly formed a hard lump, thought to be a haematoma. Unhappy with the result, a week later she dissolved with hylase. Over 12 months, the area improved slightly but the 'lump' developed and remained, almost like a plane of superficial filler. I spoke to the nurse today, who said it may be superficial filler, and she thought she could see the Tyndall Effect. Will it ultimately go away if this is the case? I don't want more hylase.

Thank you for your question. It is common to have swelling and bruising after injection, which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can ice the treated area to help minimize swelling. If you are feeling any lumps or bumps,you can gently massage them to help smooth them out. If you are unhappy...
Hi @DaniC! Swelling and bruising can take up to two weeks to subside. If you are unhappy with the results after two weeks, you can dissolve the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
