Restylane Disappeared 5 Days After Injection, Is This Normal?

my doctor used 3/4 ampule of restylane to fill my upper lip . the result was great just after the injection .. 2 hours later i had a huge huge swelling and my mouth looked like a duck . i kept icing the area and i used (surgam) to reduce the swelling . now after 5 days of injection . i feel that i didn't do anything and the effect has gone . doctor said that i need to retouch . but it will worth or i will have the same result ? thank you

A: restylane dissapeared after a few weeks is that normal?

No, it is not normal. Restylane lasts for about 6 months and if it disappeared shortly after injection, it is likely that it wasnt Restylane or that something was done to disperse the product in a way that diffused it.

Why Are Restylane Injections (Undereye Hollows) So Expensive?

It's usually recommended that 2 syringes are used per eye; $1000 per syringe. Why is restylane so expensive? Is appears cheaper and more convienent to get an under eye implant atleast the results will be permanent where as with restylane you'll have to come back approximately every 6 months to 1 year for injections. Someone please help, I need undereye hollows filled but I can't afford $3000-4000 for restylane injections.

A: why is restylane so expensive under the eyes

Restylane or any injectable is expensive when it is purchased from a reliable person. The exact price of the procedure varies from 700 to 1000 per syringe. These injections are really intricate and require deep placement of the material.  I like to place these injections beneath the muscle in order to avoid lumps and bumps and discoloration.

Is This Brusing/blood Clot or Tyndall Effect 9 Days After Restylane in Tear Troughs? (photo)

I had restylane in my tear troughs on 24th Jan its been 8 days today. Swelling has pretty much resolved.Doc injected abt 0.8cc both eyes combined. My left eye just has a small dark brown mark, which I think is bruising. My right shows a deeper dark brown mark, but when seen in sunlight,I see a very lightly visible dark blue hue between the dark brown bruises. Could this be a blood clot or tyndall effect?Doc said that sometimes veins are not visible when injecting, think he hit the vein.

A: All are possible

It is hard to tell from your photo, but all of the possibilities you mentioned can contribute to a less than optimal result from Restylane or Juvederm (HA) treatment for the lower eyelids.  Placing a filler carefully in the area beneath the lower eyelid can be a very effective means to smooth out the contour (tear trough) or to improve fine lines. However, as you are aware, bleeding/bruising can occur as with any injection and can be particularly problematic due to the thinness of the skin leading to increased visibility.  Similary, if the injection is too close to the surface it can be visible (Tyndall effect) or if injected non-uniformly, can lead to bumps.

Fortunately, all of the above problems eventually resolve, the HA's can be dissolved occasionally with hyaluronidase and another attempt to repeat the treatment is an option.

Looking at pretrestment photos for comparison will help you to decide how successful it was for you.

Good luck.
