About two weeks ago, I decided to try Restalyne filler to correct a minor flaw in my upper nose bridge after revision rhinoplasty a year ago. Though my target area was small, the nurse also put a small amount of filler around my lower tip and supra-tip break. I have had no side effects, but worry about the consequences.
