Restylane in Lips After Rhinoplasty?

I had restylane injected into my upper and lower lips after my revision rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago? Will this affect my final result? My surgeon is out of town right now and I live 18 hours away from him, so I didn't think anything about until now because of all the swelling. I am so worried that I made a dumb mistake and did something wrong. I can handle having swollen ugly lips for awhile bc it can be fixed, unlike a rhinoplasty in which is a much more invasive surgery! I feel like such an idiot!

A: restylane and rhinoplasty

Assuming the Restylane was injected in the usual places in the lip, it will not be associated with any poor result from the rhinoplasty.  Additionally, you are not an idiot.  A Facial Plastic Surgeon will listen to what your desires are and come up with a safe way to get there.

How Come Some People End Up with Bags After Having Restylane Injections?

I have seen complaints about people ending up with bags under the eye when they had injections to fill the hallows. Why does this happen and can it be prevented? Also how can a doctor insure that the restylane won't move, or migrate down ( which I'm thinking is the cause of the bags?) thanks for your help!

A: How Come Some People End Up with Bags After Having Restylane Injections?

As others have said, there are so many variations in the anatomy of the lower eyelid that there is no one reason.  The best advice is to go to an experienced injector with knowledge of the anatomy.

How Do I Find an Experienced Doctor for Restylane for my Sunken Eyes?

I want the best results for underneath my deep set eyes, as I know this is a delicate area and the feedback keeps saying to find a doctor with experience. What questions do I ask when I'm interviewing doctors?

A: Sunken eyes

I would suggest seeing a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.  They are the only surgeons who deal exclusively with the face and neck.  Often, fillers aren't the best choice for sunken eyes.  In addition, Restylane may not be the best choice.  It often will migrate after a few months and leave little bags under the eyes.  The placement of the filler is important.  Sometimes, only a subtle sub dermal injection is needed.  Often, a deeper injection is required.  Someone who has operated on the structures around the lower lid many times is best able to place the injection in the correct area.  Please use Arnica and Bromelin before the injection and avoid aspirin.  This will lead to decreased bruising.
