Visit to dentist after Restylane jowl injections: treated areas now seem more swollen.

DeightonjJul 29, 2018
2 weeks after Restylane treatment i was in the dentist chair with mouth being pulled around for 4 hours.  Restylane treated areas now seem more swollen than before my dental treatment.  Is it possible for Restylane to move around the face after a few weeks of being injected.  Also, can Restylane filler to the jowl and side of lips be affected by local anaesthetic injections from dentist?
