Restylane Will Last Over 6 Months if No Action is Taken

Mark Berkowitz, MD answers: Will I return to normal after Restylane is dissolved?

About 4 weeks ago, I had Restylane injected in the trough of my eyes. Later on, I developed lumps on the area, with bluish-tinge under my eyes. Will I return to how I looked like before the injections if I have the Restylane dissolved?

I am sorry to learn of the difficulty that you are experiencing. Perlane, Juvederm, Restylane or Elevess are all Hyaluronic Acids (HA).   The beauty of them is that  they are soft and work well to fill in lines and wrinkles around the face.  Side effects from these fillers and dissatisfaction is rare.  When  these occasions do occur the wonderful thing about this group  of fillers is that we can offer Wydase or Hyaluronidase to reduce or dissolve them.  As an Ocular Plastic surgeon, in the suburbs of Detroit, I utlize Wydase all of the time as part of my freezing solution for eyelid surgery.  Side effects from this substance are rare with the most common being an allergic reaction ( which I personally have never encountered with over 3000 procedures, Knock wood:)) You should speak to your Cosmetic Surgeon about using Hyaluronidase to hasten the effect of the filler.
