Not Worth It
Spent: $3,200 in Florida

Posted 24 Sep 2009

I was SCARED TO DEATH. I researched my cosmetic surgeon for 3 yrs prior to getting this procedure done.

I did NOT do the dental block. I had the nurse apply the topical numbing cream which did an excellent job.

I am VERY HAPPY with the outcome and I can see I will be hooked on this. As evidence of my results, I know my surgeon is very experienced with the proper injection techniques, as everything came out just the way I wanted it to. There was no pain. Just discomfort, but bearable. I am VERY HAPPY.

Updated on 8 Dec 2010:
Not sure how well Restylane works. In one year, (from 12-2009 to 12-2010, I've spent $3200 for Restylane injections in small areas on my lips. Restylane looks great when I've just had the injections, but they only last less than 3 months.

You are happy because you did your homework! Good for you :)

i am anxious to find out if restylane is helpful in eliminating crows feet and if it is worth the cost ? also how long does it last ?

t37352 29 Sep 2009

I never heard of using restylane for crows feet. You get Botox for that.

I had Restylane for around the mouth, lip area, and it worked great.

jlosc 5 Oct 2009

It is supposed to last up to a year. Yes, I thought the cost was worth it. I've heard that when you first start to do Restylane, or any other filler, that touch ups are required more frequently at first, until the process works inself in to the areas that you are having treated. Today will be two weeks, and I go back for touch ups. I am still very happy with the results. I will try to post pictures of before and after.

Yes, I am VERY HAPPY with the results, and I believe it was well worth it. It is supposed to last up to a year, but I think when you first have it done, you need to have touch ups anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Once you've done it a few times, I've been told it lasts up to a year. I have friends that have used Restylane and love it.

Restylane is used on the lower part of the face. Botox is used for the eyes and above.

I am 67. Will it work for deep folds (laugh lines) around mouth? Surgery is not an option for me.

jlosc 14 Oct 2009

Yes, it will work for deep folds and lines. There are also other treatments like Sculpta which I am told work great for the deeper lines. GOOD LUCK.

What area(s) did you have done?

jlosc 14 Oct 2009

I had around the mouth and lips done.

KGB 29 Oct 2009

WOW, you had your lips done without a dental block? That must've hurt. I'm glad you had a positive experience. I went to a board certified plastic surgeon, and still had a bad experience. When you say you researched and did your homework, can you be more specific? I want to follow in your footsteps and learn so that it doesn't happen to me again!

So why did you rate it as "Not Worth it" then? that's the problem with these ratings. So much garbage.
