I was very satisfied when the procedure was originally done. Was swollen for a day or two and enjoyed my lips for another couple days. In the past 3 to 4 days my lips have gone back to "normal" as if I never had the injections at all. I can still feel one little spot inside my mouth on my lip where the injection went in, but my upper lip is back to its teeny-tiny original self. I understand if perhaps I am not a good candidate for the product, but should my doctor be willing to refund me?
Restylane is an excellent filler for adding volume to thin lips, which has been known for quite some time but only recently made "official" by getting FDA approval for such. Lips can be volumized and shaped by skillful injection of Restylane, but can also be overfilled (think Goldie Hawn in "First Wives Club"). Your injector may have been taking a conservative approach to keep your lips looking natural, and rather than a refund you should ask for more Restylane. There is often swelling immediately after the injection, and when it goes down the lips don't look as lush as at first; in addition, lips are in motion a lot more than other parts of the face, so fillers don't tend to last as long here. Ultimately,you should be able to get a good result with a touch up of more Restylane.
Can I combine fillers in the same area?
There should be no incompatibility issues using both of these hyaluronic acid fillers. I rarely use both at the same time, but if you have had one you can certainly get the same area injected with the other next time you have a treatment. One practical reason to favor one over the other is if there is a promotion that nets you a rebate or lower cost. Bottom line - both are very effective fillers.
I don't have terrible hollows under my eyes, but I have enough to where it bothers me, and makes me look tired. I found a Maxillofacial Surgeon that injects Restylane, since he does surgery of the face, I feel like he would be the best dr. to inject. However I'm confused whether a dermatologist or plastic surgeon would be better? I just don't want to do more harm than good! I am very nervous about "ruining" my face.. Please help advise me! Thanks!
Training and technique is more important than specialty when it comes to picking a doctor to do Restylane under the eye. Dermatologists, Oculoplastic Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons and Maxillofacial/ENT Surgeons are all specialties that are generally well trained in the injection techniques. Ask the question to the physician of how many patients he or she treats in the same area, and choose an M.D., not nurse or technician to do the procedure. Read website information about the physician's training. Good luck.
