Posted under Restylane q&a

I'm unhappy with my results. When will Restylane filler dissolve? I had 1 syringe under eyes/ little bit in upper cheek.

I keep reading 6 months - 2 years. Is getting it dissolved with enzyme worth it, or is it better to wait it out? I did it 3 weeks ago. Does it improve with more time? I feel like it's sitting on the bone and not attractive and may have slightly changed my cheekbones. Should I juts give it some time? I'm scared of the enzyme to disolve bc I'm reading stories of it dissolving the natural hyrulonic acid. I also did sprinkle of Botox in my forehead and can't tell if that's why I look weird.
