Why is the Restylane Still in my Face After 5 years?
5 years ago I had many times restylane in nose lips pucker? After that I had Teosyal in the area left from my glabella and on the right side of the glabella. But now 5 years later I have the feeling it's still not out of my face. Also I feel there still is still something in the nose lips pucker .But i really want it to leave because my face has changed so much because of it. Also the position of my nose when i smile has changed.I'm 99% sure it's not a permanent substance,so how is this possible

Restylane in face after 5 years?
It is highly unlikely that restylane is stil in your face after five years. It usually dissolves within 6-9 months. Maybe you had something else injected?

Why is the Restylane Still in my Face After 5 years?
IMO, it's not possible that the Restylabne is still there after 5 years. It sounds like you may have had a permanent filler placed instead.
