I too have had Radiasse in the corners of the mouth. I was told to gently massage and use ice when it was tender and alittle swollen. You may have been too vigorous and applied too much pressure. I am pleased with my results.

Did you just get it done? when i first got mine done I looked very swollen like a chipmunk, or like I had been stung by a bee. the person I had do it was an injection instructor and specialist and teaches doctors how to inject it. I called her and she said that it was just my tissues swelling around the product and to just wait 2 weeks, will after 2 week I have to say that I look great! it will most likely get better. good luck!
