Does Restylane Last Longer After the Second or Third Injection?
I've had a non surgical nose job using restylane 2 months ago and i was happy with the results but i have seen some of the results go already.

Restylane in nose
Filling the nasal bridge with restylane or other fillers are all temporary. Sure, additional product may "top off" and last longer. A rhinoplasty is permanent.

Restylane last longer after the second or third injection

Restylane and Juvederm can last longer after multiple treatments
There are a number of patients that notice longer duration effectiveness after multiple sessions with fillers. More collagen of your own may be produced as a result of the fillers and may add to the duration of the filler's effect. This doesn't happen with all patients but I do see it with both fine lines and with panfacial volume augmentation where sunken cheeks and droopy eyebrows and sunken temples are corrected.

Yes and this has been proven
Several peer reviewed studies have verified that there are cumulative benefits to Restylane and that it is best to do a touch up between 4-8 months so a result can last close to 18 months. The study was done on nasolabial folds, but this is a wonderful non-surgical options to reshape a bump on the nose as well.

Restylane and juvederm may last longer with repeat injections
The duration of effect with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers varies with the location where they are injected. Studies show that if a repeat injection is done before the effect has completely worn off it will last longer than if you wait until it is all gone.

Duration of effect of Restylane
The duration of effect of Restylane is six to eight months. In certain areas of the face, it lasts less than this. There is a theory that over time the injection causes a collagen reaction in the skin which can make the effect appear to last longer.
