I don't like the effects of Restylane filler on my cheeks. How can I flatten out or reduce the effects of Restylane?

Asked By:LAlongbeach5 in Los Angeles, California

In Oct. 2021 I had .5ml of Restalyne classic placed in the deep plane area of both cheeks. He used a cannula and placed it deep but the result has made my upper nasolabial folds more noticeable than they were before. The increased volume was not good for my NL folds. I went to the best doctors to talk about dissolving but they said no bc its too risky and the amount of filler is small. How can i reduce the effects from the filler. I tried threads but i dont like that. No more filler. what else?
