I had Thermage under my eye last year at a spa and had bad results. I now have a line in my tear trough area. I would like to get this corrected and was considering Restylane but heard there may be some side-effects (I've had Restylane in my laugh lines and love it). My question is two-fold: 1. If I had side-effects could they be reversed with hyaluronidase 2. Are there any MDs in NYC experienced in this procedure who would be willing to see me for a consultation? Thank you!

Restylane for tear trough filler

Restylane is an excellent filler for the tear trough and yes, if we find the result to be slighlty more than desired, the filler can be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase. An important aspect in your case to consider, may be that the crease you have is different than that of a normal tear trough. If the Thermage caused this crease, which would be extraordinarily rare, then possibly the crease will not respond in the same manner from Restylane filling. This will have to be... more

Restylane - Tear Trough Area, Complications, Reversability, Hyaluronidase

Hi Bigmistake in NY,NY, The good news about fillers such as Restylane (which, like Perlane and Juvederm, consists of hyaluronic acid) is that most of the adverse effects related to them can be reversed with an injection of hyaluronidase, which essentially dissolves the filler material. So if there is a lump somewhere after an injection, it can be flattened out or "erased" with the hyaluronidase. [It is important to note that once the hyaluronidase is injected you may... more

Restylane in tear trough

Restylane can be very effective in correcting the "tear trough deformity". The tear trough deformity is a line or depression that develops with aging from herniation of orbital fat above and loss of fat along the orbital rim. Juvederm can also be used very safely. The reason these fillers are so safe is that they can be fully reversed with the simple injection of hyaluronidase if there are any undesirable effects from the injection like a lump or bump, swelling,... more

Restylane in tear troughs

Rstylane injections into the tear troughs is very commonly performed. I do it all the time. But if you have a line that developed from the filler, you may want hyaluronidase to be inejcted to dissolve it.

Dear Bigmistake Thank you for your qestion and the information about your experience with Thermage at a spa. The cotouring of the hollows under the eyes can be done very nicely with Restylane. My wife - Dr. Lisa Airan and I published a paper in 'Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery' in 2005 and were featured by Sarah Brown in the October issue of Vogue Magazine for this procedure. Removing the Restylane with an enzyme is possible if there is an irregularity... more

Restylane for under eye hollow

I am sorry to hear about your problems after Thermage. Unfortunately, your complaint is not unusual. Restylane works well in the under eye area - as long as your doctor is experienced with this advanced technique. As an injector trainer for the company that makes Restylane, I always caution the doctors that I am training to avoid attempting this highly advanced technique until they are really comfortable. Yes, problems can be corrected with hyaluronidase, but it is best to avoid the... more

Side effects of Restylane in tear troughs

The most common side effects of Restylane injections are bruising and temporary swelling. The amounts of Restylane necessary to fill the tear trough are small, and are usually injected deeply to lift the tissue. It would be helpful to see a photo to give you a better evaluation. And to answer your question, Restylane, which is a hyaluronic acid filler, can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if the end result is not what was desired.

Restylane for tear trough works well

Hi Bigmistake- Sorry for your trouble. It's difficult fo give you an accurate opinion wtihout an exam or good pictures to look at. Hyaluronidase is usually used for dissolving hyaluronic acid injections not treating complications of skin tightening procedures such as Thermage. Having said that, hyaluronic acid (such as Restylane) is a great way to treat tear troughs. It lasts about 6-9 months and is a nice alternative to surgery. I have had good success... more
