Can Restylane Cause Enlarged Oil Glands on Face?

March 16, 2011
Asked By:CS122

I had 1cc of Restylane injected into one side of my face 8 weeks ago. Now I have at least 10 enlarged oil glands on that side of my face but only had 2 before. None on the other side of my face. What is going on? I know they are enlarged oil glands not pimples or moles etc. Does the Restylane prevent the skin from functioning properly? Concerned about Hyperpigmentation if I have them removed - what would be the best course of treatment? Thank you!
