Restylane for Festoon Creates Issues?

May 5, 2013
Asked By:r47mal in philadelphia

I was administered restylane for my festoons but I now have an swollen part above my festoon. My docs response..... "The junction where the muscle excess and the cheek begins (festoon) is a tough area to inject. Most of my older patients have no issues. My colleagues have dealt with this issue as well...young patient with a dynamic festoon...meaning that your muscle that is in excess is preventing the product from staying where it is injected." Is the response correct? BTW I am in late 40s.
