Long Lump Next to Nasolabial Fold After Restylane Injection and Lines Still a Little Visible

It is difficult to tell if this is a localized deposit of restylane or a small hematoma. IT sounds as if it is the former. I would first discuss this with your physician and if OK, consider massage. If not resolved within 6 weeks, you could consider off label use of hyaluronidase to dissipate an undesireable depot of the hyaluronic acid.

The smile crease can improve but rarely disappears completely but can improve. Filler such as restylane and juvederm can squeeze out to the side of the line or the filler might be inserted purposely to the side of the crease to help lift the crease. Massage can definitely help but if not then hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler.

There are so many possibilities - you need more, you need less, you are still swollen etc.  Whatever the reason, the answer is to return to your physician.  I usually ask patients to return at 2-3 weeks after their first filler injection and to call earlier if questions or concerns.  So please call your physicians office and ask if you should send them a photo or come in for re-evaluation.  The key is communication!I hope this answer was helpful.  Best wishes.
