Can't smile after restylane 3 weeks ago (photos)

Asked By:laurastrand

I had restylane injections 3 weeks ago. 2 or 3 days later I couldn't raise my upper lip. When I smile my upper lip stays even with the bottom of my teeth. I can purse my mouth, etc. but not able to "lift" my upper lip. I had hyaluronidase injections on day 4, no improvement. Acts like a botox reaction because took 2 days to happen. MD says it was absolutely restylane. I should note that after the hyaluronidase all of my "old" filler was dissolved...e.g., return of upper lip lines. Help
