Restylane in tear trough area gone in 2 weeks!

By elttle2 on 02 Apr 2010

I had an restylane injection in tear trough area about 4 weeks ago. I loved the result for the next 3 days, by the end of first wk, I noticed that on the right side, the tear trough is coming back. went back to the doctor and he said it might be undercorrection, thus he injected more. Agin, I was quite happy with the results for week. But now it's been 2 weeks since his last injection, I definitely noticed that the tear trough is appearing again. has it happend to anyoneelse? what should I do about this tear trough?

Hi elttle2, Restylane should last for a year to 1 1/2 years in the lower eyelid hollow. A maximum of 0.5 cc (half of a syringe) should be used per eyelid. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
