Restylane Effects Gone 2 Weeks After the Procedure. What Happened?

October 30, 2008
Asked By:jenRN in Dayton, Ohio

I had 1 syringe of Restylane injected into my left nasolabial fold about 3 weeks ago. I was immediately impressed with the results. However, after about 2 weeks, the wrinkle was fully evident again. Did the doctor do something wrong, or did my body reject it? What happened? I don't have that kind of money to waste. Thanks.
