Yes: Perlane (dermal fillers) is a hyaluronic acid filler that will be metabolized over a years time. The lumps will continue to grow smaller. If they bother you your doctor can inject some hyaluronidase which will immediately shrink them with no danger to you.

Perlane (dermal fillers): Perlane (dermal fillers) is a type of filler material made of hyaluronic acid which you body will dissolve in 6-12 months. You may get some improvement by having your doctor inject a material that will help accelerate the dissolution of the product. Some downward massage can also sometimes soften lumps/bumps from filler but make sure you do not massage up toward the eyes.

Filler: you should have your face evaluated by your injector who is preferably a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
