After Restylane - 5-fu or Corticosteroids Scar Tissue in Lip

February 22, 2011
Asked By:kittymeowmeow in los angelos

Thankyou for the advice I have recieved.I got my records and yes it actually was restylane injected I did bruise alot, so some have said that could have caused scar tissue. I have had the vitrase 3 days ago with no response, so far. Is it possible it will require more vitrase and multiple injections to remove these lumps? If it is scar tissue I am dealing with, would 5-fu be a good option instead of steroids to get me back to pre restylane state? I hate the unnatural ridge/bump my above lip.
