I have struggled with some jowling and looking tired as I approach 40. My doctor used 1 syringe of Radiesse lyft in my cheeks and 3 syringes of Restylane in my nasolabial area from my nose down to my jaw. I am 5 days out from the procedure and I have some concerns about the way it has changed my face when I smile. My smile lines are uneven and the corners of my mouth are looking odd, it reminds me of the Joker’s smile. Is this possibly residual swelling?
