Had Restalyne in my lips and now I have stiffness in my upper lip and vertical lines when it is stretched, what do I do? (photo)

Question

The lip is also sensitive, I figured the stiffness would go away with time but it has been weeks. I noticed the vertical lines a week ago. My bottom lip only has a few tiny lumps in it but nothing I would have been concerned about without this mess.

I appreciate your concern and I can see the issue in the photos. At this point, you have achieved your final outcome so if you're very unhappy then see your injector and consider dissolving the product with enzyme. You might consider Restylane Refyne in the future.
Best wishes. Dr. ALDO

After 2 weeks, these are your final results. This may be due to filler placement. If you're unhappy with the results from Restylane, you can have it reversed. I recommend following up with your injector. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, after 2 weeks this is your final results and can be due to filler placement. The great thing about Restylane is that it is not permanent and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with your results. I recommend following up with your injector to address your concerns. Best of Luck!
