Hi legna, Hopefully by the time you read this your problem has resolved. If not, excess Restylane can be dissolved with Widase, a hyaluronidase injection. Hopefully you are better, and your husband is not a RealSelf.com reader. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
Help! Too much Restylane in my nasolabial folds
I am freaking out. I had resty injected 4 months ago in the folds around my mouth - conservative amount - 1 syringe total. I went back today for a touch up because I thought I needed a bit more. I think Dr. went way overboard! I kept saying, "not too much"...she said it looked great. Ugh, I look like a freak.

Restylane injections cause swelling from the injury of the needle placed into your tissues plus the fact that one of the natural ways Restylane works is by drawing fluid to itself and hanging onto it. The massaging right now is probably more irritating to the tissues than it is helpful. Use ice frequently... more
A: Chill and Relax.........
First off...don't freak out! That will only raise your blood pressure causing the blood vessels in your skin to fill with more blood and draw more heat to the surface of your face.
