Lips Drooping After Restylane

February 26, 2010
Asked By:Athena555 in Canada

I recently had Restylane injected in my upper and lower lips, and now one side of my upper lip droops. When I have a neutral expression, my lips are symmetrical. When I smile or talk, however, one half of my upper lip droops, so that my lips appear crooked. I am unable to move that side of my upper lip as I did in the past, so I'm worried that some kind of paralysis has taken place. What can I do? Help?
