Not Worth It
Spent: $300 in Tacoma Washington
I went to a spa in Tacoma and had a real bad experience.I tried botox and love it and I thought I'd try restylane . Well I thought I would like a fuller upper lip. and after I was done I looked like a duck . everyone at worked had a nick name for me duck girl . I would tried rubbing my upper lip every chance I got hoping it would go away but it didn't and I was stuck with it for about 4 months. I would never ever try that again.

The people at the spa did not know how to enhance. They injected far too much. There is an art to it- You probably only needed a tiny bit of fullness- or border definition and your practitioner ws too dumb to see that. Sorry about your bad experience, when I have it done I have only the tiniest amount put into my lip borders for perfect results. The rest of the syringe goes into other areas of the face- like a tiny bit into the cheeks and the results seem to last nearly a year for me.

Duck girl? Sorry to hear about your experience I think doctors sell the stuff my injection so if they have some left well guess what? They just inject all of into your lips! That is what happened to me and I looked absolutely crazy! All you need is just a little and has to be injected perfectly, if you do not need that much just have them store the other half for you at the clinic or spa for next time which cuts down on cost Too much Restaylane makes your face look swollen and full making you lose the definition of your face I see tons of puffy swollen women around town and I know it is because of doctors going overboard with a filler

i had my cheeks done and look great, ny nasal fold and lines around the mouth, also had it injected under my elelids, brusied for over a month, but the brusing is still visible under my eyes and i am getting worried if it will go away, its been 9 weeks now and under my eyelids look red, bruised and dark circles, will this ever go away

Who was your provider? The cost was really inexpensive. I am jell-ious. lol I had Retylane done around my eyes as well...I had brusing for about a month.

The bruising around the eyes with Restaylene is I think due to it interfering with the flow of blood around that area because the eyes are is very delicate compared to other part of your face. Do Not get Restaylene around your eyes it is dangerous read the side effects scary! Please try a more natural safer approach
