Westchester Restylane doctors

Several things happen under the eyes as we age.  Some folks are unlucky enough to have these changes show even in the mid-20's but it is commonly seen in most people by the mid-30's.  Crepey or wrinkly changes under the lids are responsive to medicated skin products like retinoids and others as well as to chemical or laser peels.  Deepning of the tear trough accents the transition from eyelid skin above to cheek skin below.  This is commonly treated with injectable fillers such as restylane.  Bulging fat in the lower lids requires lower eyelidplasty altough early bulging can be temporarily camouflaged with fillers to some extent. 

When disappointed with a treatment, it is always best to return to the physician who performed the treatment and consult with him or her about options to improve the results.  Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane can be reversed with a material called hyaluronidase, the results of which are seen almost immediately.  Hopefully your physician is familiar with hyaluronidase and is comfortable using it to help reverse the effects of the Restylane injections.  The treatment is a series of injections into the area where the filler was originally placed.  Your doctor should mention that you may feel some stinging when the hyaluronidase is injected. 

Restylane is a smaller particle than Perlane -the number of linked together subunits is fewer and cross-linking less.  This gives a softer, smaller particle which is better suited for superficial corrections such as lips, eyelids, and wrinkles.  Perlane is better suited for deeper correction such as deep nasolabial folds, cheeks and hollowing under the cheeks.
