Restylane: Stories

In answer to the question "Wouldn't a lower blepharoplasty have been a better solution?": No, no, and double Hell no. The lower blepharoplasty is very, very risky. I had one in February and regret it immensely. I wish I had gone to a talented filler practitioner instead. When they do a lower bleph there is a HUGE risk of too much fat being removed and you end up with hollows under your eyes that look unnatural and certainly no better than the natural bags that you were trying to get rid of. Now I am researching using filler to return some of the natural fullness that was completely stripped away by the lower bleph. Be careful, apparently perfectly talented plastic surgeons can perform a perfect, text-book lower bleph and you can still end up hollow. They can't predict how it will turn out on each patient until they try it. What you end up with is what you get; the results are permanent and there is no going back in time.

Every surgery has risks, but I'm not aware of lower bleph being especially risky.

I got a lower bleph 12 years back with a 3 day recovery. I so hated those bags under my eyes. It was the best $5K I ever spent, am still happy with the results all these years later.

Of course if I'd had a hollow effect, I wouldn't have been quite as happy, but it would have been better than the bags.

Well, you were lucky. If you look into it, you will find that people's lives have been destroyed by plastic surgery gone wrong. Some unfortunate souls have even committed suicide. The decision to have cosmetic surgery cannot be taken lightly. There are serious risks and thousands upon thousands of people out there who are anywhere from devastated to upset by their results. Again, thank your lucky stars your results were what you had hoped for. Take care.

Hello Tece, You should go see a Oculoplastic plastic Surgern. They are good for the Eye area. See what they say. Always let the Doctor inject you not the Nurse. Also watch you're Diet.NO WHITE BREADS , NO SALT. SLEEP ON YOU"E BACK WITH YOU"RE HEAD UP a 2 Pillows. You may see that this may help. I had a Doctor injext me with filler. He messed my face up. I hit every Vein. I was Bruised for weeks and i had Lumps and bumps. I had another dissolve alittle and i worked.

Hi there, it didn't damage my tissue and i've had 3 syringes of hyalase. I have got fluid retention ontop of my cheeks though apparently from trauma which is disspersing very slowly. My eyes went right down immediately though, you def need to get someone who knows how to use it.

Thanks Swollen Eye, Yes you did helpme and i think you are right. I still have some Restylane not much under both Eyes and Cheeks. I did read some posting that the Hyluroidase Enyme dissolves some Tissue. So i did get nerves about it. I just don't want to have the doctor use the Hyluroidase Enyme to take out the rest. Just in case it does dissolve good Tissue.

Hello thanks for responding. I'm really sorry to hear about your story. What filler did you have put into your face. Was it a HA product (Restylane,Juvéderm ). So the Doctor over filled your face and then he used Hyluroidase to dissolve the Filler. Did he put the Hyluroidase on both sides of our face. And now you have wrinkles that you never had before. Are the wrinkle in the area were he injected the Hyluroidase. My doctor said the indents i have isn't from the Hyluroidase. The Doctor who put the Filler in my Face. He messed me up. He didn't what he was doing. I was so bruised,lumpy,bumpy and plus i had a Bluish Tint under both Eyes. 3 months later i went to a different Doctor. He said he needs to dissolve some of the filler to get rid of the lumpiness,bumpiness. He used Hyluroidase. And it looked better. So 1.5 Month later i went back to see the new doctor and he said your face is still over filled. So now he wanted to dissolve all of the filler. He used the Hyluroidase. So now i see these indents under both Eyes. He said it's not from the Hyluroidase. It's from the filler getting disslove and from the first doctor who over filled my face. When the first doctor over filled me i could see some lines where the indent are now. All i know is you have to find a good doctor who knows how to inject filler.

The enzyme created indents under my eyes and also left me with lax skin on the side used. Idiot dr Rivkin in Los Angeles used way too much.
