Restylane asymmetry

Restylane is easily adjusted.

However, I think you would benefit from more volume in the left nasolabial fold. I also think that a tiny bit of volume along the vermillion edge of the lips would make an amazing difference for you without making look like you are in the adult entertainment business.

Vitrase for Restylane Reversal

Uneven melolabial folds after Restylane

After45 days, I thimk it is reasonable to be concerbed about the uneven appearance. You may not need a full syringe of Restylane to correct this problem and hopefully you will only be charged the cost of the syringe. Restylane Vital is a form of Restylane not yet approved in the United States. Always make sure yo are being treated by an experienced, Board Certified Dermatologist.
