I am 54 years old and I would like to have restylane or some kind of filler. I had botox in the past but am afraid of it now. What type of filler can I use to get rid of lines between my eyebrows and around my mouth that is safe ? I have been in remission for about 5 months. Dermatomyositis is a skin/muscle autoimmune disease. My case was extremely mild compared to others.

Lip injections are one of my favorite injections to do and you should be happy with the results. Swelling or numbness can occur for a few days or a week. If you are concerned you should return to your treating physician for examination. Best, Dr. Green
It sounds like you have numbness from the injections form the lips. It should go away in about a week as well as the lumps. Please consult an expert in lip injections. Best, Dr. Green
It could still be swelling. I recommend speaking to your Dr. and if you're unhappy with your results you can decide to have it dissolved and try a different technique next time. Injecting with cannulas help give a better result and prevent issues. hyaluronidase can be used to reverse the filler...
