Asked By:mocloa in Briarcliff Manor, NY

I had Restlyn injected by a dermatologist a week ago in the folds between by nose and mouth as well as in fine lines in my upper lip, and creases on the sides of my chin. It was my first cosmetic work evert. The Dr used two vials. Lip and chin are fine but cheeks got progressivly red, inflamed, painfull and hard to the touch. I just went on prednisone and Cipro as the thought is it may be infected. Now the skin is peeling. This does not seem common. What should I do?
