“Restylane under eyes - not happy”

Restylane: NOT worth it

Cost: $600
Pain: Painfree

Restylane satisfaction: Poor

I recommend my Restylane provider: Name not provided

Why: He is a wonderful Doctor he did not do anything wrong it is just how my body processed the restylane,

Seeking help:

I had Restylane under my eyes then a month later it created a 1/2 moon like puffyness, you can see it . the other eye is fine. does anyone know how to get rid of this? it actually make my under eyes worse , now it created wrinkles under there. Very unhappy!!!

Answer this

Review of Restylane:

I was shallow under eyes so I wanted to get a more youthful look. so I chose Restylane fillers, I did get Botox as well wich I LOVE . but the filler were not as nice as I expected. it changes the whole texture of my skin, added uneven puffyness created wrinkles

It's not the restylane, it's the botox. I assume you had botox in the crows feet area? Your injector has dropped your cheeks a bit (cheek ptosis) and weakened the eye muscle as well. WAIT IT OUT. You will see it start to improve soon.

Thank you so much for enlightening me I think you are exactly right it is more wrinkles under the eye and cheek then restylane has a a bumpy texture to it as well so that whole area is a mess, i wish they would warn you that these complication can happen.

it so weird tried but failed said the botox has caused a bit of cheek ptosis as thats exactly what happened to me i never had anything wrong with my cheeks before and im sure it caused hollowing,im not having anymore treatments done i had botox my brow dropped!!!!!!, and hollows appeared after the botox wore off, i had filler to lift up my mouth and make me look happy and one side went wrong both were done by a top very famous surgeon, then the famous filler by ramon malhotra, ive heard since i joined this site he has over filled a lot of his patients and then tried to say its not him, i dont know how these doctors live with them selves every day i have been so upset icant even look in a mirror it should be in the papers or something warning all the poor sods who have no idea that it could all go wrong cost you thousands and take at least a year to go away im 12 months down the line and its just the same
