Laser Resurfacing to Fix Damage?
Hello, 4 months ago I had Restylane injected under eyes. It was horrid so I have several rounds of hyaluronidase to dissolve it. I was left with a visible vein and a lifted fat pad. A month later I had more Restylane to camouflage the vein and pad. It has been about 6 weeks since reinjectin and I still look ugly. Should I just have the new Restylane dissolved an get Fraxel Repair to smoothe everything out? Please help! Thanks.

Laser Resurfacing to fix Restylane
Restylane injections can neither create nor camouflage a visible vein. Fraxel and restylane do not work the same way so one can not be used to "fix" the other. Fraxel may reduce the appearance of fine lines or help with skin discolorations whereas restylane adds volume. Seek the opinion of an experienced plastic surgeon to learn the best option. Good luck.

Laser for veins under eye
Sorry you had such a bad experience. There are lasers to treat the vessels around your eye. I have some excellent examples if you look under my photos. Its hard to say if Fraxel repair would help or not. There are case reports in the literature describing the use of this laser to help in similar situations. A photo would be very helpful if you could send one. Take care, Dr. Groff

Laser resurfacing to fix Restylane
No, you should not do this. If you are seeing an experienced physician injector and still don't like your Restylane, adding Fraxel into it is not going to be a good solution. If you haven't been seeing a physician injector for the Restylane, then I'd suggest you see someone for at least a consultation. Restylane isn't permanent, so over time, it will go away and things will settle down. If you start doing treatments to fix something that isn't permanent, you're going to start overcorrecting...
