Safe/short lasting: There are pro's and con's to every procedure. The main risk with any injectable fillers are lumpiness, over-correction, under-correction, needing to repeat procedure periodically. There is a rare risk of injecting the filler into a blood vessel, which can lead to blood flow compromise. With blunt needles, or microcannulas, this risk is reduced. An advantage of Restylane (dermal fillers) that it can be dissolved.

Relatively minor....: Over/under-correction, irregular contour, tyndall effect with "blue bleb" if injected way too superficially, early reabsorption, and the usual swelling and bruising that can go along with any injection. Allergic reactions are very rare.
