Toronto Restylane doctors

Hi Gina,

If the BioAlcamid has been removed there shouldn't be any problems in using a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane in the same area. Because BioAlcamid forms a capsule around itself and works as an "endoprosthesis" it has the potential of getting infected (like any implant in the body) if contaminated. Hope this helps.

If you just had it done it may be due to swelling.  Give it a few weeks before any further treatment.  If after a few weeks the lips still appear uneven then see your physician who  can add more product to even things out or add hyaluronidase to dissolve product that may appear excessive in  a given area.  Good Luck.

Restylane has gained widespread acceptance as a reliable and safe product used in many countries over the past decade..  It  is composed of hyaluronic acid a smooth gel which contains no animal products.  It comes in three forms, restylane,  restylane fine line which is thinner consistency,  and perlane which is thicker.  For areas around the mouth these products can augment facial folds significantly.   This procedure takes minutes to do and generally is well tolerated.  Most patients have slight swelling and rarely bruising along the injections site.  For most patients they can go to work the same day and cover up any sign of the treatment with makeup.  The results can be dramatic and should look natural.   In some situations its important to treat not just the folds but to enhance volume of the cheeks and areas above the mouth and the chin area below the mouth.
