The bridge of my nose has sunken pass the point and it's worse when I'm stressed or without proper sleep.
It has bothered me since I was 30. Now in my 50's and would like it filled but have not seen anyone else with that problem. I was told it was a bad place for Restylane but the doctor has agreed to do it.
Yes, Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm can be injected into the nasal tip (or any other part of the nose) to correct minor discrepancies in contour. It can also be used to improve the appearance of mild 'supra-tip' deformities where there is excessive fullness of the area above the nasal tip. The filler is injected into the subcutaneous tissue or deep dermis, and usually lasts up to year.
I have a large lump, which I think is a scar tissue on my cheek, caused by (Restylane) done over 4 years ago. I already had kenalog and hylauronidase, but they didn't do much. So I must have it cut out, but I don't know which incision to go with. It's just below the cheek bone, and can be reached from inside the mouth. But I was told by my doctor that an intra-oral incision will have its side effects on my face in the future, and it would be better to just cut it out from the surface (meaning I'll have a visible scar). Will it also cause facial sagging in the future? Which incision would you suggest?
Restylane can usually be removed by simply injecting Hyaluronidase into the area of excessive fullness. This will break down the Restylane and allow the area to return to its pre-injected status. If the lump is caused by something else such as scar tissue or a salivary gland issue etc.. - then an incision may be required to be performed through the lining of the mouth. Rarely, a branch of the motor or sensory nerves supplying the face may be affected.
I would suggest a comprehensive consultation with a board-certified plastic or ENT surgeon before deciding on a course of action.
What should I ask my doctor before getting a Restylane or Juvederm injection? I don't want to look lumpy or unnatural. It's for naso-labial folds and my eye area.
Juvederm and Restylane are very similar products, both of which are hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Both are manufactured in Europe. The manufacturing process is slightly different between the two products. I find that Juvederm goes in a little smoother and has a silkier texture as compared to Restylane.
The critical factor when injecting these products is having someone, preferably a board certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist do the procedure. I find that that injecting the lower eyelid area the most difficult - conservative injection is critical. If one is over-zealous with this area excessive puffiness may result. It is important also that your physician has a sense of aesthetics, and that you do not get an unnatural "weird" look. The physician should also feel comfortable treating the potential risks of the procedure such as lumpiness or excessive augmentation
