Can Infraorbital Nerve Damage Pain from Restylane Be Permanent?

freakingout819
I am about 1 week post Restylane injections. I felt a numbness all the way to my lip with the injection. Called ps and asked if nerve damage was possible. Nurse told me that is was not. The feeling came back about 6-7 hrs later in most areas. The next day I started having spells of numbness. This quickly turned into spells of intense pain and pressure. After a few days the ps did say it was nerve damage. I am being told that this is not permanent. Mentally it is taking its toll. Any advice?
