Posted under Restylane q&a

Is it possible for restylane to leak out over a month since injection?

fy06awar88
so I was injected with restylane 1 syringe in my very thin lips. I was soo happy with the results at first, but I started getting lumps below my upper lip. The lumps were still there 2 weeks later so I went to the physisian and she injected some solvent to disolve it. However, ever since then I noticed that everytime I wake up in the morning I see gel like discharge on my lips and my lips are getting smaller almost the same size as before the injection. I am worried that the whole injection will leak out!
