Is It Ok to Sleep on the Side with the Cheek Pressed Against Pillow/arm After Restylane Injection?

October 17, 2013
Asked By:AlexaNic

Since I can't fall alseep in any other position than on my side/stomack I have slept with my cheeks pressed against my pillow or even arm after Restylane injection in my cheeks. It is the third day now and one of the cheeks looks a bit flatter than the other (exactly on the side I tend to sleep on much more). Could that have resulted from my arm pressure that the Restylane has somehow flattened out or dropped/moved because of my sleeping habits?
