Swelling or temporary clumping that appears immediately after the procedure usually subsides naturally within 1-2 weeks, so it is necessary to distinguish it from nodules. In contrast, actual nodules or granulomas often appear delayed between 6 months to 24 months after the procedure and are characterized by being hard and gradually increasing in size. Since the causes may differ depending on whether it is a reaction immediately after the procedure or something new that appeared after some time, it is most accurate to monitor the progress and check with the clinic.
