Fullerton Restylane Doctors and Reviews

“Restylane Restored the Face I...”

It’s been a big year for my face. I turned 46 (sneaks up on you). A medication change resulted in an unintentional weight loss (I know, boo hoo - but I was skinny to start with and losing 15 lbs did me no favors in terms of health, strength or sexiness, believe me). Even though my life has been going really well, I felt like I was looking tired and unhealthy. And then, I started a new... more

“I Am Still Trying to Deal with the...”

Horrible experience and way too much money trying to fix the damage from Restylane injections under my eyes and the later Vitrase to dissolve it. The cost I listed is the total cost I spent in trying to fix the result of the initial Restylane injection and includes the cost of that original injection. I was badly overfilled, left with extremely noticeable discoloration and dents. I tried... more

“Fillers and Botox - Orange County, CA”

I'm in my late thirties and wanted to somewhat capture my youth and also to do preventative maintenance on my face. My motivation was my co-workers, all my co-workers are in their mid 20's, I feel very uncomfortable. I really love the outcome. I know that i will be keeping this up and going back for maintenance. more

“A Quick Improvement to my Nose -...”

I had a botched rhinoplasty in the past that left a long dent across my nose. Dr. Klein filled it with Restylane. It is a quick procedure and only slightly uncomfortable. My nose is not perfect now, but it is about 80% improved. There is a little Restylane left from the first procedure, so I am going back to hopefully get even better results. I only wish the product lasted longer. more

“Beautiful Lip Lines!!!!!! NOOOOOO...”

Dr. Elam put Retylane in my lips to define the lip line. I am 47 years old and as we age your lip line fades. I did NOT want duck lips. He always listens to his patients and makes them look natural!!!! He has done other procedures on me and I have been so happy with everything! I am adding pictures of my lips. They are swollen as he just injected them 2 hours ago. I will post another picture... more

“Freaked out !!! - Los Angeles, CA”

I had restalyne aprox .3 cc from a .5cc syringe i purchased injected yesterday into my bottom lip only (my top lip I was happy with ) i felt confident and looked good enough to return to work. That evening I had very little swelling, I woke up at 1am to find my lip had swollen uncontrolabley and looked like a sausage! Quickly I grabbed a Budweiser can out of the fridge and used it as a cold... more

“Don't Panic the Swelling Will Go Down”

I received 4 syringes. I had the crease near my forehead between my eyes and creases around my mouth and my cheek bones done. Everything was fine until day 2 and 3 when my face swelled up so bad (I thought OMG what have I done). I couldn't go out anywhere. However, on day 3 I left for Florida and just hoped that I did not run into anyone I knew. I kept applying cold compresses to reduce... more

“Long Waits, Poor Aftercare,...”

I had restylane nose and lip injections. Within a few days of the procedure, I developed blue lumps in my lips at the injection point and my lips became very hard and lumpy. I have been since informed that this is what is known as the "Tindall Effect" which comes from the doctor still pushing out product while withdrawing the needle, which is the #1 no-no of restylane. Once the... more

“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

“Vertical Lip Lines - Irvine, CA”

I had those pesky "smokers lines" above and below lips-although, I am not a smoker. Went to a doctor in Irvine, California that I had gone to before for Botox. He is a skilled injector and very conservative in his approach (which I like). I am so pleased with the results- virtually minimal swelling, no bruising and elimination of most of the offending lines. My Dr.... 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

“Amazing - wonderful - Laguna NIguel, CA”

Turning 40 in a couple months and I saved up to treat myself. Today is day 2- I have NO SWELLING, NO BRUISING, and NO PAIN- I am so thrilled with the results. Today I have applied my usual makeup routine with no concerns. My original goal in getting Restylane was to look younger and refreshed, but I had concerns about my appearance being "altered" and looking... more

“I Love Restylane - Orange County, CA”

Many people think that lip injections are very uncomfortable, but I beg to differ. I believe if you go to a good plastic surgeon, they will keep you extremely comfortable. Instead of doing a dental block, I just used a topical numbing cream. I love the way Dr. G does my injections. My lips look enhanced, but not fake at all. 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

“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

“Restylane in Nasio Folds Just Made...”

I had restylane in nasial folds and it just makes me look fleshier not more youthful. Juvederm did nothing to make my lips look bigger and botox did not get rid of my between eye furrows, just made my eyelids droop. Very depressed. more

“Restylane, Juvederm and Botox-Laguna...”

In sales, I need to look and feel my best. In my early 40's I started to notice lines on my face that were not there 10 years ago. Now, with fillers I can look 10 years younger....and who doesn't need that? more

“A Complete Failure - California”

It did nothing to improve as I was expecting. Doctor didn't care only pocketed the money and dismissed me. more

“Restylane Helps Makes Your Lips...”

Fill-in lines around my mouth and help with appearance of my lips (fuller, younger) 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

“Restylane - Wanted to Restore Volume...”

Wanted a smoother outer eye area up into temple which was lacking volume. It looks a bit lumpy on one side.. is this something that will resolve itself.. It's still sore. 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

“I Look Worse”

I had much more wrinkles and indentations under my eyes than I should for my age. The injections did plump the areas, but now I just have giant bags under my eyes. (like the cowardly lion from Wizard of Oz). 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

“Hated the Results”

I had Restylane injected under my eyes to fill in under eye circles.  At first it seemed great.  One eye seemed to "take" better than the other side.  A few days later I realized that I have lumpy bumps under my eyes when I smile.  One cheek seems to be higher than the other and I feel like I look like a gargoyle because the photos pick up every shadow under my... 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

“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

“I'VE USED RESTYLANE FOR 4 YEARS AND...”

You must get a good doctor who can inject correctly without bruising and in the right places. I've used my Dr. for 10 years for Botox. He is a doctor of opthamology, but only does cosmetic injections now. He is super good. Restylane lasts a long time. He uses it to turn up the corners of my mouth, erase smile lines in the naso-labial folds, erase smile dimples (wrinkles on the sides of my... 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
