I had Restylane injected on my cheeks to increase volume. I noticed that my face wasn't even immediately after the procedure but the doctor said that no one has an even face. The thing is that, my face wasn't like this before the procedure! It was quite symmetric! Now my laugh lines are way off and my whole face has been tilted. I know that the swelling will go down more in the next few days. But it doesn't look like my face will be even. Should I worry?

Answer: Uneven Restylane Injections Hi Maxie. Your concerns are not unfounded if you are speaking about the nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. In the photo it looks like your right side has a pocket of product right in the fold and on the other side there is no such product. When the swelling subsides, if you are still unhappy with the product there are two options. The first is to add more product to make the smile symmetrical and the second is to dissolve the product that was placed.

Answer: Assymetries and filler Every person has existing asymmetries in their face, varying greatly from person to person. Fillers can be a great option for reducing asymmetry and adding volume to the face. Treatments to correct significant asymmetry can sometimes be complicated and may involve multiple treatments and different types of fillers or other treatments. It is important to note that often patients have asymmetrical swelling after filler procedures; swelling may last several days up to 2 weeks. After treatments, cool compresses can be used to reduce swelling. Generally, it is best to wait 10-14 days prior to judging the end result from an injectable treatment. If there are still concerns around this time period, make a follow up appointment with your physician.
