Would Chemical Peel or Laser Help This Nightmare from Restylane? (photo0

I had restylane Jan 31st in cheeks, eye hollows, nasio and marionette lines. My facelift was done in 2008 so all doctors assured me the restylane would not impact my face. I am now a saggy mess in the lower face/jowl area. My old acne scars have become larrger and more noticeable as are the pores in my skin. I also have a small lump that appeared under the lip that my doc swears can't be the restylane. He has injected vitrase to try and smooth out the jowls but nothing has helped.

I think you need more filler.

Your facelift only does so much. At first tension from lifting the face does support the area with old acne scars. As the face relaxes these scars become visible again. Unfortunately filling is an art form. WIthout more immediate before and after photos, it is impossible to analyze the effect of the filler service. However based on your current photograph, more filler volume would definitely be beneficial.
