Lump of Sculptra felt but not seen. Will it progressively become more visible and larger if I don't massage it away?

Asked By:KEWtieKye in Westport, CT

I had first Sculptra treatment 2.5 months ago and a 2nd treatment done 2 weeks ago. Just two days back I felt a hard lump on left cheek toward teh top, around my nose. Since discovery I have been really pushing on it to try to force it to get smaller and break up. It is still there. Should I continue to vigorously push and massage it? Will it grow bigger if I can't massage it down? And do these usually become visible to others? Right now it feels like a large pimple size deep under the skin.
