A: That's what a filler does!
Fillers fill a sunken area will volume. The pressure of the added volume plumps up the wrinkle. Especially in areas where a larger amount of filler is given, you can feel the filler under the skin.

I've gotten both restylane and juvederm in the nl folds and lips and the nl folds always felt a little hard. I think this is normal. Drinking a lot of water should help soften them faster since hyaluronic acid absorbs water.
