Please go see your doctor as you may have developed cold sores and they can possibly give you something for it. Plus, you want to reject that it could be anything else.

Use of ice packs after Restylane injection will reduce post-procedure swelling and bruising which will, in turn, alleviate discomfort. It is highly recommended, no cost and completely beneficial. I see a tremendous difference in bruising between patients who are compliant with the icing...
Hi.
The Restylane did not cause your symptoms. Did you have infraorbital nerve blocks for anesthesia before the Restylane? The only possible connection is that the nerve block needle caused a little nerve damage which is causing facial pain.
