I've used Restylane before and like the product when injected properly. --- Yesterday I had a Dr. fill in a large dent in the left corner of my mouth. It appears he overfilled it since the left side of my mouth curves up like the Joker, while the right side turns down slightly. I look really weird!

I went to a highly respected plastic surgeon who is quite conservative, I think he just made a human error. I've heard of the lip swelling up for a few days, but not the mouth. Should I go back to get this dissolved, or should I give the side of the mouth the same swelling downtime as lips? (I've never had lips done... not sure if it's related.) Thanks for any input.

P.S. I gave a thumbs up on Restylane itself since the product worked great in my cheeks on facial hollows.

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

A quick comment on my original post. --- I learned I should have patience in this case. In a few days my "joker mouth" subsided and I looked normal again, in fact much better. I guess there's a reason the doctor I went to is highly regarded; he knows what he's doing. --- I'm relieved.
