Still have lumps 1 year after Restylane injections in tear trough. Will they ever go away? (Photo)

Iruinedmyowneyes
I received Restylane injections a year ago in my tear troughs/upper left cheek). 2 syringes over 2 separate visits. Ever since I've had a large lump that is hard to the touch and creates unnatural shadows on the top of my cheek + another lump on the corner of my eye when I smile (see photos, although it's more noticeable in person). I hope I'm wrong, but I've heard the body can encapsulate filler if it mistakes it as a foreign body and then filler can last for many years.
