Maxillofacial Surgeon Vs a Plastic Surgeon to Inject Restylane in Under Eye Hollow? I don't have terrible hollows under my eyes, but I have enough to where it bothers me, and makes me look tired. I found a Maxillofacial Surgeon that injects Restylane, since he does surgery of the face, I feel like he would be the best dr. to inject. However I'm confused whether a dermatologist or plastic surgeon would be better? I just don't want to do more harm than good! I am very nervous about "ruining" my face.. Please help advise me! Thanks!

A: Either Doctor can Inject Under the Eyes

You should be fine with any of those doctors injecting under the eyes, providing they are experienced at doing it. In some areas of medicine more than one specialist is trained to handle certain problems. This is one of those areas.

Big Mistake: Restylane in Lips from Different Doc: Uneven Smile, Strange Lumps Needed a touch-up on my lips. Away from home, went to different doc. She used less than 1/2 a syringe, mostly in top lip & a spot on my bottom lip on one side. She said the previous resty had dissipated unevenly. There's now a big lump, a black bruise & fat lip there. I went back today, she saw the problem & massaged. Now bottom lip looks fatter, blacker & lump still there. Should I fly back to get this dissolved if it isn't better in a week? Have to be on TV in 10 days! I want my trusted doc!

UPDATE: A month ago I had Resty in my lips w/the above results. Luckily my TV appearance was delayed for other reasons (thank god), so I didn't dissolve. But it's been over a month & my top lip remains uneven & thick, not me. My regular doc always enhanced my natural shape but he's out for a month:( I have pictures for an appearance in 3 weeks & I'm not sure what to do. I don't look ridiculous but TV is unforgiving. I fear a tiny amt. of dissolver could make things worse. Advice from LA docs? Thanks!

A: Treat the Bruising and Swelling First

It sounds like most of what you are dealing with is bruising and swelling from the injections. This can happen! I recommend waiting a week and in the meantime, get yourself some Arnica homeopathic pills from the healthfood store. These pellets are dissolved under the tongue 3 tiems a day and will help you heal more quickly. Also get the Arnica Cream or Gel, and use that at least several times per day. After a week you should be healed and you can better assess whether it is uneven or not.

Will Restylane in Lips Last Longer the More Treatments You Get? I've been been getting Restylane in my lips for almost 2 years now w/touch-ups (1/2-1/4 a syringe) about every 3 months. I'm so consistent that I've never seen much decrease in volume. I'm going to be away from my wonderful doctor, however for about 4 months since my last treatment.

I realize I'll lose some volume, but how gradual is it? And since I get treatments so often, does the product build up? I wonder if I can span treatments further apart -- more like every 4-5 months? Thanks so much!

A: lip injections with Restylane

You can wait longer than 3 months in between your lip injections with Restylane. In fact the product can last 6 months or in some cases even longer. You may want to consider trying Juvederm next time which can last from 6 to 12 months.

Best wishes,

Dr.Bruno

	“Restylane Vision Loss - Los Angeles, CA” Is it possible to experience vision loss( but not complete blindness) from restylane injection near the eyes? I had some injected into radix and nose bridge area and had blurry vision afterwards. I thought it was like botox and would go away so didn't get too concerned about it initially but i got worried after reading that it could cause blindness in the eyes if the filler gets into the... more
	“Restylane and Botox Looks AMAZING -...” I decided to post a review about my experience with restylane and Botox. I have spent many hours on this site and found it to be very helpful (and frightening) at the same time. I have terrible dark under eye circles and hollowness. Fortunately I live in S California so I was able to have access to excellent plastic surgeons. I found one that has amazing credentials and is actually a trainer... more
	“Very Happy with Restylane (Tear...” Volume loss and irregularities. Dr. Persky injected the Resty deep into my skin and massaged the area. The area looks smooth and I don't have the tired look that I had before.I told him I was considering sculptra and he told me I didn't need it. more
	“Love - Glendale, CA” I started coming for just botox and restylane and the results were so amazing. I was considering getting a facelift, but Dr. Vartanian recommended the thermage instead he said I didn't need a facelift just yet; which was very honest of him. I just got lip and face fat injections recently. I love the way I look, young and natural. more
	“Relaxing Experience - Beverly Hills, CA” Took away the tired look under my eyes; when I wake up in the morning expecting to see a nightmare in the mirror, instead I look refreshed...it's unreal! I love it! more
	“Very Pleased with Upper Eyelid...” They don't tell you when you book the appointment that there's a good four days of downtime. The day after, I didn't step out of my place. The third day, I conducted business but two guys I know asked what happened to my left eye. Would do it again for sure, but will plan better for down time next time. The doctor charges by the syringe. I'm 37 and I needed one syringe, you may... more
	“Delightful - Beverly Hills, CA” Freshen up my face Dr. S was soo sweet and attentive. He really cares about his patients and loves what he does-- and is good at it!! I was very pleased with my results! There was no wait time for my appointment-- which is so rare for a doctors office! Once inside- he really listens to what your saying- and has a keen aesthetic that provides a perfect result. Afterwards- he follows up... more
	“Restylane for Tear Troughs - Beverly...” I am 54, male. I have never had work done on my eyes, but I was getting dark shadows underneath. I even went to MAC to get concealer. With great apprehension I had Restylane. Surprisingly, it only took 1 syringe, which I think is 1.2cc? I had slight bruising but the next day I had red circles around my eyes where the restylane was place. I was told I would be swollen or possibly bruised... more
	“Break Outs After Restylane- But LOVE...” I like results of restylane, but I agree with one of the reviewers on here. Every time I get injected, I break out, almost immediately. The next day, its evident that is caused by restylane. Sorry Drs, you are not chemists, and the pharma companies have yet to learn all there is to know about certain drugs, etc.. I bet this will be one of the side affects eventually added to the list. more
	“Lips - Glendale, CA” I had my upper and lower lips injected wit Restylane, and i loved my results. Everyones body is different so mine didnt last as long as my friends, but i loived it. i felt so much better about myself because i looked so good. He made it look as though they were my natural lips this plump. (some people who have it done, looks real bad, they look like ducks) i recommend it to everyone!!! Trust... more
	“The best of the best - Beverly Hills, CA” Restylane for upper and under eyelid hollowing; Radiesse for temple hollowing. Not only did the fillers in my upper eyelids and temples make a dramatic difference, but they were subtle enough to keep me looking like "myself", just a younger, fresher version. more
	“Top In His Field - Beverly Hills, CA” I started to get very noticable hollowness under my eyes at 23, which lead to dark circles. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking that I was way too young for this. It made me look tired, old and unattractive. At 27, I decided I wanted to try something...anything! After extensive research, I found Dr. H and I'm so glad I did. I only wish that Restalyne lasted longer for the... more
	“Restylane As Fillers for Nose -...” Had Restylane to make the bridge of my nose taller. Spent $399 for the 0.8cc syringe. I went to my Dr twice for my non-surgical rhinoplasty. 1st time my Dr. only injected 0.4cc and asked me to go back for touch up in 2weeks to use up the rest of 0.4cc. The result is fabulous! I had a bruise for ~1.5 weeks but my nose looked much more taller and defined, as if I had the surgery. Downside is... more
	“Money Wasted - Studio City, CA” Had under eye injections - would not repeat procedure with Restylane. Pros: Quick and easy procedure, relatively painless, bruises & swelling healed within a week Cons: Waste of money - still have small lumps after 3 months - didn't "fill" in the hollows under my eye. Not at all what I expected it to be. Waste of money - no noticeable improvement at all. more
	“Restylane to Correct Under Eye Dark...” This was my first cosmetic procedure, and I was nervous. I am approaching 40 and have been increasingly unhappy with the dark circles under my eyes. Dr. Hoenig was recommended by a friend and I finally went ahead. I used to look in the mirror and see a tired looking face...and I started to feel tired! Now, I look in the mirror, I SEE rested....and I FEEL rested! It's like have a rested... more
	“Now I Want to KISS Everyone” For about a year and a half, I've been pondering having my top lip plumped up. It's always been significantly thinner than my bottom lip and recently the fine lines (Yes, I was a former smoker) have been creeping in - yuck, yuck - well, I am 36. About four months ago, I had lunch with a friend who told me his experience of lip plumping was agony. Agony. This didn't sound good... more
	“Amazing Under Eyes and Cheekbones! -...” Dr. injected restylane to fill the hollows under my eyes where i had lost volume. I also asked for filler in my cheekbones to replace some lost volume and add a modelesque look as well. more
	“A happy patient and a wonderful...” After being told by a famous celebrity doctor that I was still swollen from my fat transfer surgery , which has been 8 months ago from that day, I was heartbroken and confused. I had been turned away and the doctor refused to treat me, this was not fair and something had to be going on to cause two doctors to look me in my haggard face and tell me that there was nothing wrong with me. I went... more
	“Restylane Under Eyes, in Nasolabial...” I saw Dr. P for treatment of hollowness under my eyes and loss of volume that made my nasolabial folds look saggy. After reading his many thoughtful responses to user questions here on RealSelf, I decided that he was an experienced and knowledgeable doc, someone I could trust my face with. I did a lot of research before my appointment, this being my first experience with more
	“Amazed at How Natural Restylane...” While I don’t have orbital hollowness where the actual eye socket is, I was pretty hollow from the top of the orbital rim to my uppermost cheeks. After months of deliberation, research and being depressed over my super dark circles and tear trough hollows, I finally took the plunge with Restylane.In hindsight, I am beyond thrilled wit more
	“Lip Enhancement Not Lasting Long” My experience was very good...I was really nervous because I have a fear of needles, but the doctor was very patient with me and made sure I was doing fine before continuing the process. The dental block made it a pain free experience except for the bottom lip which was a little more sensitive. When my procedure was over I was very happy with my lips. The only thing i didnt like about the... more
	“After Restylane I Have More Under...” I decided to have some very small troughs under my eyes injected w/ Restylane during another major procedure when I was under general anesthesia. When I woke up my eyes were hugely puffy and bruised on one side but I wasn't worried because it was newly done and I assumed the bags would go down. Now, I had very little of the trough lines to begin with and mainly on one side but I wanted the... more
	“Lumps Caused by Restylane Injections” I have lumps and change of texture on my midface from restylane that was injected a little over two years ago. A doctor injected an enzyme to disolve the restylane but the lumps are still present.Is there a way to remove lumps that have persisted for two years caused by Restylane? more
	“Amazing - After 2 Treatments No More...” I had Restylane injected in my laugh lines 2 in November 2005. I was 38 at the time and after looking at pictures from a vacation knew I had to do something! It was mildly painful and stayed red for about a week - I could cover with makeup after two days. But the results were amazing! I didn't have to go back for a re-touch until 8 months later. I must have had a better technician that... more
	“Fill In Marionette Lines” I have marionette lines that seems to deepen with age. Recent photos did not look very good. It bothered me.I have a special occasion coming up. I decided to give it a shot. I think she overfilled the area. more
	“Lumpy Injections in the Wrong Places...” I recently had restylane injection to fill out the nasal folds or laugh lines. I got the work done by a registered nurse and not a plastic surgeon or a doctor. That was a major mistake. Instead of filling my laugh lines, the fold became even more noticable and the area to the outer of the laugh lines (cheek area) got plumped up and lumpy and i look like a cat. The nurse... more
	“Restylane for Nasolabial Folds Made...” I had been researching botox and restylane to improve my tired apparence.(I just turned 41yrs old) I was hoping for help with my crows feet and undereye puffiness and eyelid drooping. I went to my dermatologist for a consultation as recommended by many of the websites. I was told, as I had expected that I need Eyelid Surgery blepharoplasty. He said restylane wouldn't help and would be a... more
	“Under the Eye Success! Very Happy” I've had restylane for my lips and smile lines with great success. In the past two years troughs have developed under my eyes. After reading these posts I finally decided to have my eyes done. Used a numbing cream. Half a syringe per eye. Performed at a local med spa by the same girl I've used past four years. No, she is not an MD, but has lots of experience. Lesspain than when my lips were... more
	“Excellent Results with Restylane for...” I have deep,dark circles under my eyes and have used undereye cover cream for more years than I'd like to count. One day, I realized the cover cream wasn't working. I would apply and reapply several times a day to no avail. Received Restylane injections under my eyes and was amazed! No more dark circles. The treatment lasted about 12 months and I went and did it again. I still use... more
	“Love Restalyne!” I have had a series of Restalyne injections, the most recent was in early 2008. I am happy to report that the effects on me are quite long lasting. The wrinkles around my naso-labial (sp?) folds have stayed gone. (I have had 3 treatments to the area.) I also asked the doctor to treat my frown lines between my eyebrows with a touch of Restalyne. The effects are not as lasting on this area,... more
	“My Results Looked Great, but It...” I tried a little of everything in the last couple years. If Restylane were less expensive, I'd get it again. I'm kind of creeped out by needles, and there is some bruising, esp. if you do lips. The lips and nasolabial lines looked perfect, but that depends on the skill of the "Filler" not the filler. I would only go through that again for something permanent, but then...what if... more
	“Liked It!” I got the procedure done one month ago and I am very happy with the results. A little under my eyes and around my mouth makes a difference. I am 34 and did not think I need it but am glad I did it. I would recommend this procedure to anyone. more
	“Loved the Results, Not Sure if I...” I had Restylane injected under my eyes 2 years ago to fill in my under eye hollows. The doctor who injected the Restylane did a wonderful job. I had no bruising and it looked very natural. My friends couldn't tell I had anything done but they all told me I looked well rested. Restylane lasted for almost two years in this area. I was told that it lasts a lot longer in areas that don't have... more
	“One Hour After Restylane Lip Enhancement” Last night, I was up late reading all sorts of restylane lip reviews. Some said I would not wish resty on my worst enemy. others said I love resty and my fabulous new luscious lips. Some major pain, some minimal. I wondered how could the reviews vary soooo much?? SO, i'm here to report my initial experience and results. I had restylane put into my upper lip plumped this afteroon, which... more
	“Perma-Frown” Please take note of how carefully your doctor examines all aspects of your face before injecting you. Mine didn't look at my smile, didn't look at my profile and didn't take into account the rest of my features. Rather, he just started injecting me willy nilly. The results are bad. My story: I went to a well-respected dermatologist. By choosing him, I assumed meant I was getting a good... more
	“Restylane is Great Because You Can...” I've had restylane in my lips and under my eyes, one was great the other not so great. I've read a lot of other people's experiences with it and have done a lot of research and there are two common complaints; lumps and too much. I've found that the doctor who administers it is important in that their technique prevents lumps from forming and they can also gauge how much to add so you don't... more
	“Restalyn Filled in my Expression Lines” About a year ago my dermatologist convinced me to switch from Botox to Restylane. She promised that it would last longer and give me a more natural appearance for clearing my "expression lines" (for about the same price!). Sounded good, and I went ahead with the injections (2). Really quite simple to get restylane (some spas now require no advance appointments). My skin was... more
