Unexpected Botox and Restylane Results
I had Botox, but it only worked on the right side of my face (near the eye)? Also, the Restylane migrated into the upper part of my top lip instead of staying in lip line. What should I do?

Restylane movement after injection
Hi Kaygee,
If it's been two weeks since your injections, we would highly recommend a follow up with your practitioner immediately.

Final Botox and Restylane results not until 2 weeks
We usually delay the verdict until 2 weeks after these procedures, after swelling has resolved from the filler and the Botox has achieved its full effect. A touch-up can be done for the left eye. Your injector may be able to help you massage the restylane toward the lip line (or dissolve it with hyaluronidase if needed). Migration of Retylane out of the lip line would be a strange occurrence.
Good luck.

However, wait at least two weeks between injections for the Botox to take full effect. Otherwise, you risk have too much of an effect. As for the Restylane, if you are not happy with it, you can have your doctor inject a dissolving agent (this only works for the HA products). However, again it is best to...
