After receiving one syringe of Restylane there is a bubble on the left side of my upper lip. I️ usually only get 1/2 syringe of Restylane and have never had this problem. It feels like a lump when my ttongue is pressed against it, andto touch feels like there is excess fluid on the inner boarder of the lip. Is this normal?

When were you injected? this is a dumb idea IMO. It does not boost the skin to have discrete nodules placed into it. Restylane lasts a long time when injected into the upper layers of the skin and if the bumps are from injections done at that layer it will be months before they go down....

Great question. Fillers are relatively safe but are definitely known to cause soft tissue necrosis if injected into a vessel. Moat patients with this kind of problem will have pain in the area supplied by the boold vessel, patchy purplish hue to the skin and some swelling....
Hi @NYC87. Thank you for sharing your photos-- it appears that you have been overfilled in the tear trough area. This can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
