Unevely Injection Restylane in Nasolabial Folds, What Should I Do? i had restylane injection 1 week ago in nasolabial folds .now i have uneven and swollen but very little in one down side of nose!!

A: Asymmetry After Restylane Injection

Thank you for your question.

First and foremost, any time you have a concern about a recent procedure you should let your provider know. In our San Francisco Bay Area practice we advise all patients to wait at least two weeks after injection to allow adequate time for swelling to subside. Generally minor asymmetries subside on their own as swelling resolves but in some cases additional filler may be required.

For the highest level of experience and care visit the office of a board certified plastic surgeon.

I hope this helps.

Restylane for Under Eyes After Rhinoplasty? How long after a Rhinoplasty should I wait to inject Restylane for undereye I just underwent Rhinoplasty surgery 1-week ago and wanted to use Restylane to fill the wrinkles and dark eye hollows underneath the eyes (lower eyelids) - near the tear ducts and middle of lower eyelids.
I have had these for the last 5 years and have been wanting to fix this issue. Will this interfere with the healing process for my rhinoplasty?

A: Give under eyes some time to improve after Rhinoplasty

Best to wait a month to six weeks so the swelling and bruising can go down.

Could be longer if you had your nose narrowed during the surgery (osteotomies or infracturing).

Ask your doctor!

Is Bruising Unavoidable After Restylane Injections? Does everyone get bruises after Restylane? If so, how long does the bruises and swelling last? I will be going on a trip four days after getting my Restylane. Is it safe? Thanks

A: Bruising after Restylane

Thanks for your question.

In our San Francisco area practice, we find bruising to be very unusual after any injectable.

Guidelines to follow include:

Avoiding blood thinning medications prior to treatment (eg aspirin)
Go to an experienced injector
There are treatments (such as cool compresses) that can reduce the chance of bruising even further. Your injector should be able to help you with these.

I hope this helps.

	“Went For It - San Francisco, CA” Wow, looking at my pics is a bit of a bummer. I spent too much money and although I see the difference, not a single person has commented. Aside from my sister, who saw me when I was swollen two days afterward, and said "What did you do to your face?!" I think I had an unrealistic idea of how much better this would make me look. I had a vague idea that this could 'fix' how... more
	“Great Bedside Manner, Sets Realistic...” I looked tired all the time and thought I needed filler in my smile lines to fix it. Dr M showed me how a bit of filler applied to the cheek areas could give that visual lift I needed, without looking like Lisa Rinna. Love the results! I look rested and not fake. more
	“A True Artist - San Francisco, CA” I started looking more tired and "older" even when I felt great. My under eye area was sunken and bluish no matter how much concealer I used. After months of research, I decided to try a filler for my tear trough areas. Time and again during my research, Dr. M kept turning up as the most experienced in this procedure. The fact that he's an MD and board certified facial... more
	“A True Medical Professional with an...” I went in for some filler around my nose. He made some recommendations which were brillant. Couldn't be happier. more
	“Under Eye Hollows/Restylane in San...” I had Restyland injected to make my hollow, dark undereye circles less apparent. I went to a Dr. I'd heard good things about in SF. I have very pale skin and thought I would get enormous bruises, but I was suprised to only get a purple mark near the site of one of the injections that faded to a red mark in a few days and is now (3 weeks later) almost gone. The filler felt really weird... more
	“Dr. Has Amazing Skills! San...” I started seeing Dr. M at 35 to maintain my appearance. Around that time, I was looking a bit tired from a full-time job and full-time parenting. I wanted to refresh my appearance without surgery. Botox and, eventually some filler, was exactly what I needed. more
	“Allergic or Something else That's Not Ok” I tried Restylane on recommendation of the aesthetic physician I visited. I bought 3 vials, but since it was my first time, I used just one the first time, and went back for the next 2 a couple of months later. The first vial was for the naso-labial folds, the left side of my mouth looked nice, the right side shows no difference at all, but felt hard and uncomfortable for a couple weeks, this... more
	“Love Restylane, Botox” I have been getting restylane, Collagen (before Restylane came out), and botox injectables for almost 10 years now. Skilled MDs need to perform the injection for it to work well obviously, but I have had great luck with a few different doctors as the ones that I trust. Do your research, and don't go just go because a doctor has a "deal". Its important to know your doctor and get... more
	“So Far, So Good” I am 38 and I wanted restylane to fill the little wrinkles that started to form on my top lip. I was very very nervous and have waited about a year to take the plunge. I must say the experience so far has been far better than I expected. My lip has swelled a little bit and a tiny bit of bruising but nothing like the 'duck' lip or other stories I've read here. I had the injections yesterday... more
