A dermatologist overinjected my upper cheeks. I am thin and have always had a thin face and liked it that way. Now my cheeks are too full. I am concerned that the Restylane has stretched out my skin and when the Restylane has metabolized and dissipated, my upper cheeks will be stretched out and I will now forever need these oversized Restylane injections to compensate for stretched out skin caused by these overinjections. (I am 40 years old and had minor but not excessive skin laxity.)
Risks of a procedure should be thought of in two ways; what are the theoretical risks and what are the real risks. Is it possible for filler to cause tissue expansion? Yes. Placing the skin under tension causes new skin to grow. Any woman that has had a baby understands this concept. Is it likely that filler will cause tissue expansion? No. The 1 ml of additional volume is just not enough to stimulate meaningful tension.
Now here is the good news; hyaluronic acids like Restylane are dissolvable. If you feel as though there is too much filler, tell your doctor and they can remove the excess, leaving you with perfect results.
i was injected with restylane a couple days ago i was just wondering if i could use night creams or any type of cream to fight hollows under eye circles etc will these creams affect restylane results or make circles worse or on the contrary improve restylane results?
You don't want to rub and massage the treated areas, but if you use your cosmetic cream of choice GENTLY, there should be no concern whatsoever. Remember, you spent much more on your Restylane, so treat this with its proper respect and don't over do the application or removal of even the most expensive cream possible. Remember, the FDA has jurisdiction over pharmaceuticals that have been proven to have an effect on tissues, so for a product to be properly sold as a "cosmetic," it has to be proven to NOT have an effect on tissues!
This would imply that the least expensive moisturizer that your skin is not irritated by, or perhaps a good skin bleaching cream, is actually much more cost effective than the expensive (and equally PROVEN ineffective) skin creams. (Just saying.)
