I am a 22-year-old and I want Restylane to fix my under eye hollows. I have contacted several doctors and found out this procedure can be done by a plastic surgeon, a dermatologist or a nurse. Now I am stuck since I do not know where to go! Since I am a college student I cannot afford consultations with several doctors. Furthermore, I know of nobody who can refer to a good doctor since none of my acquaintances have had such procedures. I would like input to know which type of doctor (or nurse) I should choose.
I agree with Dr. Aldea that you need an experienced injector. While all of the types of doctors he mentioned may have experience in this realm, Ocular Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons study and work on this area more than most any other type of physician. ASOPRS.org will lead you to this exclusive group. Discuss with any doctor their personal experience injecting this very delicate area. I have been successfully using fillers in the tear trough for years and my patients have been very satisfied with the results.
I had Restylane injections 6 weeks ago. Although the result under my left eye is not great, (still looks a bit purple-grey and prone to water retention), I can live with it. However, I do feel the need to address the result under my right eye. It is also discolored, but now has a significant bag underneath it. It kind of looks like someone punched me. I went back to my dematologist after a week, and he told me to massage the area and come back in four weeks. After four weeks of massaging and wearing glasses and hats, I am thinking of having the Restylane dissolved. Is it okay to do both eyes? Should I have the same physician dissolve the filler or should I get a second opinion? Thank you for your time.
I am sorry to learn of the difficulty that you are experiencing. Perlane, Juvederm, Restylane or Elevess are all Hyaluronic Acids (HA). The beauty of them is that they are soft and work well to fill in lines and wrinkles around the face.
Side effects from these fillers and dissatisfaction is rare. When these occasions do occur the wonderful thing about this group of fillers is that we can offer Wydase or Hyaluronidase to reduce or dissolve them.
As an Ocular Plastic surgeon, I utilize Wydase all of the time as part of my freezing solution for eyelid surgery. Side effects from this substance are rare with the most common being an allergic reaction (which I personally have never encountered with over 3,000 procedures, Knock wood:))
As I cannot see you, it is impossible to state if masking the lump with more filler would answer the problem. Your physician should never perform any procedure he/ she is not comfortable with. I would ask you to return to your trusted physician to see if he could consult a colleague who would be happy to work with both of you.
About 4 weeks ago, I had Restylane injected in the trough of my eyes. Later on, I developed lumps on the area, with bluish-tinge under my eyes. Will I return to how I looked like before the injections if I have the Restylane dissolved?
