Can Restylane move at two weeks with deep pressure?

Question

Without thinking I popped a pimple applying very deep pressure for a long time (and kept at it). I panicked after because I had gotten restylane injected in my cheek area where I was pressing about two weeks ago. I seem to look fine but my face has been tingly for a few days. Is it still possible to move the product after two weeks?

No, after 2 weeks, the Restylane should be settled in place and should not be able to move with pressure. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with your injector. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your question. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a filler move after a two week period. Have your injector examine the area to be diagnose your new symptoms. Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Thank you for your question. No, after 2 weeks fillers like Restylane should be settles in place and should not be able to move when pressure is applied. I recommend having a follow up with your injector to address your concerns. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question – and quite simply put – derms do not like it when patients pop pimples and your Restylane will be fine.

It should not be possible to move Restylane at 2 weeks so you should have no issue at all; however, it is never a good iidea to treat your face the way you did
