“Restylane reabsorbs too quickly for genetic cheek depressions”
Restylane: NOT worth it
Pain: Painfree
I've been getting Restylane injected since I was 25 years of age (now 32) around the mouth and in my upper cheeks to fill symmetrical genetic cheek depressions.
I know its longevity depends on many factors, but I feel different doc injection techniques are the reason behind the same treatment lasting more than 3 months or less than 3 months. I travel quite a bit and don't have the luxury of going to the same doc.
My provider rocks. Their RN injects perfectly every time and her technique lasts longest. 3 months or more.... Technique used by Le Beau Visage in Dallas lasted less than 2 months. Same product. Same treatment area. All done within this same year. What gives with the technique used?

Without answering your question directly, I have to ask why you're not getting something longer lasting (e.g., Radiesse), or something permanent (e.g., Artefill or an implant) for the cheeks?
