Restylane disappearing
If the Restylane was injected deep, then you would not be able to palpate it in the same way that you can feel Radiesse under the skin. You have not provided photos, specified the amount of Restylane injected or the locations in which it was placed. Therefore, it is difficult to assess whether it, in fact, has "disappeared" or whether there has been an improvement. If you have concerns, please return to your physician or seek consultation with...

My Restylane Feels Like It's Gone??
Hi Miguel. There are several issues that may be affecting your outcome. Swelling and the amount of product placed can both affect how it appears shortly after injection. If you had swelling after injection, the results may look very different after the swelling goes down. If the amount of product placed was not enough, it could just be that it's not noticeable and you may need more.
Finally, it's possible that you do actually have some benefit but just do...

Restylane - I Had Restylane Injected About a Month and a Half Ago- Feels Like It's Gone?
Restylane usually lasts about 6-9 months - but your result may not last that long.
A lot depends on how much was injected, and in which parts of your face. In general, it lasts about 6-9 months so if you feel that you did not achieve correction for long enough, you should speak to your physician.
You may need to have more injected (each time that you are treated), you may not remember exactly what you looked like, or, depending on where it's injected (areas of animation,...

Restylane Under The Eye
Typically Restylane lasts at least 6 months or longer. Your injector might have been conservative under the eyes so perhaps you need a bit more filler to get the desired result. Comparing before and after photos is a great idea. We take them routinely in my practice. See if you have a photo of yourself prior to your treatment for comparison!

If you're getting only short term results with filler, you might need more product or different approach to treatment.
If you're getting only short term results with filler, you might need more product or different approach to treatment. 1.5 months is a short term result regardless of the type of hyaluronic acid filler that is being used. There are a couple of possible explanations: 1. You really did metabolize the product that quickly which is uncommon. 2. The product could have been placed too deeply where it seems to "disappear." More superficial injections will result in better "fill" while requiring...

As the Restylane settles you should not be able to tell that it is there.
Miguel
We take before and after photographs for a reason. This is the reason. Your treating physician should be able to compare your before and after photos and show you what is different. Believe it or not, it can be very hard to actually remember. If you doctor did not take before and after photos, you should probably consider getting service somewhere they take treatment more seriously.

I Had Restylane Injected About a Month and a Half Ago- Feels Like It's Gone?
Restylane and Juvederm typically last about 6 months, depending on how deep into the tissues it's injected. If a small amount of Restylane was injected deeply, it may seems like it's all gone. You may want to have additional material placed or try a thicker filler like Perlane or Radiesse if it's appropriate for the area of augmentation.

Restylane can give a natural rejuvenation for the skin
There can be a little swelling after restylane treatments. The fact that you can't "feel" the product does not mean it's not there, It settles and is not typically palpable in the skin. You may need more treatments for optimal results and the good news is that when you do reach optimal results you will need less product over time to maintain them. Frequent squinting and rubbing the area can have a negative effect on the longevitiy. You might consider botox to help minimize...
