After complaining of volume loss, not wrinkles, in N/L folds, the Dr. injected 1 ml of Restylane on sides of nose, not along the sides of the mouth. Now I have broken capillaries, that were NOT there before and prolonged redness. Other than fixing capillaries with a laser, what can I do for this area? Any creams or will time help? More concerned about redness not going away, as it looks like I have a bad cold all the time and must wear cover-up. How to avoid this in the future?
