Is Bruising Unavoidable After Restylane Injections?

Does everyone get bruises after Restylane? If so, how long does the bruises and swelling last? I will be going on a trip four days after getting my Restylane. Is it safe? Thanks

A: Pulse dye laser treatment can speed resolution from post Restylane injections

Bruising is very common with all dermal filler injections. It may not happen every time on every patient, but it is very common. Certain variables contribute to bruising, such as history of bleeding disorders, medications, and injection technique. Should bruising occur, a pulse dye laser treatment can speed its resolution.

Restylane Vs Juvederm

What should I ask my doctor before getting a Restylane or Juvederm injection? I don't want to look lumpy or unnatural. It's for naso-labial folds and my eye area.

A: Juvederm or Restylane for Lip Augmentation

The answer is to first choose the right doctor, then be sure your doctor is using the right material. I use Hyaluronic acid products, including Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, Perlane and Prevelle. For permamnet lip augmentation I use autologous fat injections.

In my plastic surgery practice, patients seeking natural looking lip enhancement should ask the following questions:

 

  1. How much experience does the surgeon have with soft tissue augmentation by injection?
  2. Does the surgeon numb the area prior to injecting the lip? It is easier to get a perfect result if the patient is comfortable.
  3. Have other options been discussed? Fat grafting is a permanent method of filling lines and enhancing lips. Individuals requiring more than one syringe of Restylane for the result they desire may want to explore fat grafting, a safe and permanent alternative to Restylane.
  4. Does the physician have patient photos to share with you and patients to speak to about their experience with lip augmentation? Amost all plastic surgeons have performed lip injections on many staff members. You should be able to see their work in person on both front office staff, medical professionals and aestheticians.
