What to Do when Restylane Won't Dissolve?

November 21, 2008
Asked By:Michelle444 in new york, NY

I had Restylane injected under my eye area a year and a half ago. It has not dissolved on its own. It seems to have caused some extreme heaviness in my cheek area that has cause my mouth to look like its pointing downward. The left cheek is much bigger and both sides look different. Also, when I smile the cheek pushes up so high into the eye area and causes so many lines under my eyes it looks terrible. Can I use something to remove it?
