Restylane - How Long Will It Take to Completely Dissolve Restylane on the Lower Face?

There is a certain degree of variability from individual to individual but, in my experience, it's about 6-9 months for most parts of the face but less in dynamic areas (ie, the areas that move such as the lips and regions right around the mouth).
