Hi, I had restylane and teosyal fillers injected last night for tear troughs. So far not too bad but swollen on one side particularly. I am now worried about the long term effects. What will I look like after a year or so when the filler fades as I have read horror stories about people having saggy, loose skin after the filler dissolves?

Restylane give beautiful long-lasting correction to the tear troughs if placed artfully.

Restylane is my favorite treatment for tear troughs. If placed artfull,y Restylane will give a long lasting beautiful correction. As the Restylane fades you will gradually lose the correction, however it will not make anything worse and will not cause baggy eyelids. Over time you may develop baggy eyelids, but it will not be due to the Restylane.

Some people do well with HA's in the tear trough some have problems....

It is too early to say how your result will turn out. It may look great after the swelling goes down. In my experience some of the hyaluronic acid fillers can have issues in that they can absorb water from the surrounding tissue and give an appearance of bluish bags in the thin skin of the eyelid. As a result I have switched to Radiesse for this area as it has been more reliable over the long term. The good news is that if you have a problem there are threatments available. I hope this helps. more

After Restylane fades in the tear troughs

Greetings~ A common concern that patients have is that their skin will some how stretch out and not snap back after they have fillers....There is no reason to worry. If anything, after using fillers for many years, we have seen just the oppostite be true. Fillers such as Restylane can actually stimulate your own collagen so when it wears off your skin will certainly not be any worse and may be a bit better than before. When the fillers do fade, the problem is often that... more

Fillers for tear trough

IMHO, fillers like Restylane in the tear trough have zero chance of causing loose, baggy skin after the filler dissolves. This sounds like urban myth.

Long Term Use of Fillers

The question of whether or not filler treatments will increase the risk of worsening of the lines after the filler has worn off has come up frequently. In my experience, the opposite has been the case. Wrinkles made to disappear using the new hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane which give a completely natural look. These fillers can also stimulate the production of your own collagen which can give an even longer lasting result. I have never seen an instance where I felt... more

Long Term Affects of Restylane

Hi worried. Using Restylane or Teosyal will not make you look worse after the filler wears off. We always take before and after pictures so that we can remind patients what they looked like before the injections. Because these products are both hyaluronic acid based gels, they will dissolve in this area in about 1 year. After that process is complete, you will look very similar (perhaps 1 year older) than you did before the injection. If you want them dissolved... more

Both Restylane and Teosyal are hyaluronic acid fillers.

Worried Both products can be adjusted if you develop overfill from your treatment. Because of expected swelling with this service it really will be a few days before you know if the treatment is good. Longer if you bruised during treatment. After about a week, if there are any bumps or areas that are too full, your injector can adjust the material manually or with an injection of the enzyme hyaluronidase. It is important to understand that treatment is not just a... more
