I have a large lump, which I think is a scar tissue on my cheek, caused by (Restylane) done over 4 years ago. I already had kenalog and hylauronidase, but they didn't do much. So I must have it cut out, but I don't know which incision to go with. It's just below the cheek bone, and can be reached from inside the mouth. But I was told by my doctor that an intra-oral incision will have its side effects on my face in the future, and it would be better to just cut it out from the surface (meaning I'll have a visible scar). Will it also cause facial sagging in the future? Which incision would you suggest?
It is important to figure out what you received as there are different treatments for each. If this were truly restylane, it would be treatable with a simple injection of hyaluronidase, so it seems unlikely that this is what you are treating.
For this reason, it is possible that you will have to have it cut out, sadly! I would take an xray to see what is going on as well as this sounds quite unusual. Good luck!
