Restylane for hollows
You should wait another week and have assessment with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. You probably require more Restylane with an experienced injector.

Restylane for lip lines
It sounds as you had Restylane injected for the upper smile folds near the nose and some spread into the cutaneous (skin-colored) upper lip. It also appears as if you had Restylane removed by either hyaluronidase injections or incision and expression. We have not found that hyaluronidase dissolves normal tissue. If corticosteroids were injected to reduce swelling (it won't dissolve Restylane) then some fatty tissue could have atrophied. It may be that each revision that...

Unsightly grooves after Restylane Injection and Restylane Removal
Injecting any dermal filler in this area requires meticulous technique to avoid what you described. Once the product was dissolved to address the negative outcome of the treatment, it sounds as it you began to notice other issues.
It's not clear if you possibly had filler placed in secondary areas that were affected by the hyaluronidase treatment. However, as one panel member suggested, you may only be noticing something that was pesent before your treatment. ...

Hollows and dents after Restylane removed
The possibility of creating bumps, lumps and dents when attempting to remove or dissolve Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane is the reason, IMHO to just wait and allow these fillers to just dissolve and go away on their own. IMHO, you should consder gentle massage to the area and then just wait until everything goes away on its own.

Photographs or an actual examination is needed to understand your issues.
First if you just had your Restylane taken out, I would wait another 10 days before deciding more needs to be done. Persistent swelling can distort the tissue. Time is very helpful for this. If your issues persist, the first most likely possibility is that more enzyme is needed. One all the material is removed, what ever issues are left can be addressed with a small addition of HA fillers. These can be very fussy treatments.

Filler problems
As you have found out, restylane and fillers are not perfect. In the past you may have been the ideal candidate for a collagen injection. Collagen was a great solution for upper lip lines. Unfortunately the product is no longer available. However, there are still other treatment options, including laser and surgery available, or perhaps other fillers. I suggest you discuss this with your doctor, or seek a second opinion.

Grooves and hollows after Restylane
You should definitely discuss this with the injecting physician and get his or her input. He will be able to understand what happened to give you the result you have, and to guide you in how best to restore the areas to their previous appearance

Hollows and grooves after Restylane removal
It sounds like the restylane may have been injected too superficially. Restylane can be removed by injecting the region with Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that will dissolve the Restylane. This will cause the wrinkles to come back, but should not cause hollows and grooves unless they were there before. There are several ways to improve wrinkles. Fillers are probably the most common. Other ways involve resufacing, peels and surgey. The hollows and dents that you refer...
