Radiesse/Restylane Overfill

I have small muscle/fat(?)pooches above the corners of my lips.I had radiesse to blend them 6 mo. ago.He put too much along the sides of mouth leaving long bulges - and it hasnt gone down!5 dys ago restylane was added under corners of lips and bottom of bulges to smooth.

The Restalyn looks unnatural where its placed and it seems to be a pillar for Radiesse now increasing bulge. Should I have restylane dissolved and some radiesse surgically removed by incision through the iside of cheek? Stressed

A: Restylane and Radiesse Overfill

Hyaluronidase is the best option to reverse or remove hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm). Hyaluronidase is given via a small injection to remove Restylane, with results typically within days. The other option is to wait and allow the Restylane to slowly dissolve with time. Radiesse cannot be reversed, and surgically removal typically may cause more damage than improvement. One must wait until the Radiesse dissolves slowly.

Speak with your Restylane injector to help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Does Restylane Cause Acne or is This a Coincidence?

I had Restylane for nasolabial lines about 6 months ago and ever since I have had acne breakouts constantly along those lines now with pretty constant redness as well.

The dermatologist did the 'ferning' technique so there were many many injections on each side. I have hormonal acne breakouts but had never had any problems in that area before. Is this a reaction to the Restylane or having so many injections in such a small area? It is extrememly frustrating and I am reluctant to have this again.

A: Restylane and Acne Flare-Up

Restylane is unlikely to cause facial acne. Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin, and any irritation such as multiple needs injections might contribute to flare-up. One option to consider, if the acne is really troubling you, is to remove or reverse the Restylane. This reversal may be achieved with hyaluronidase, given via small injection. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Will Ultrasound Waves Help Dissolve Restylane?

I had restylane injections under my eyes three weeks ago I now have small bags and a blue tint. The texture of my skin is also changed. I want to get the restylane out but do not want to do the injections to dissolve it. I wad wondering if ultrasound waves would help dissolve the product quicker?

A: Reversing Results of Restylane Injection

Hi simpson1317 i,

As other cosmetic specialist have stated, ultrasound will most likely not reverse the results of Restylane injection and typically not recommend around the eyes. Hyaluronidase the best option to reverse or remove hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm). Hyaluronidase is given via a small injection to remove Restylane, with results typically within days. The option is to wait and allow the Restylane to slowly dissolve with time. Speak with your Restylane injector to help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
