“Restylane - read before procedure”
Restylane: NOT worth it
Pain: Worst possible
I had a horrible experience with Restylane. I had injections under each eye. Days later the product appeared lumpy. I went back to the doctor. I expressed my concerns of the lumpy appearance.
Weeks later the doctor did ultrasound under my eyes to "break" the product down. Later Frasel Laser was performed under my eyes. The product seemed to go down at that time.
Six months later, a mass producted under right eye. I went to regular doctor and then eye doctor. They treated it for a eye infection. The mass was still there after treatment for infection. I later went to a specialist. I later had to have both eyes biopsied. The biopsied result "foreign material-Restylane. I now have scars under both eyes.
Horrible experience.

you did not have a horrible experience with resylane you had a horrible experience with the injector. when placed correctly with an experienced injector restylane is a wonderful product.

all the MD's and the TV ads and magazine ads make it sound so simple! My gosh, can't these MD's be held accountable for all of the "botched" jobs that they do!? I feel so badly for you! Good luck!

i agree, rystelane is great if the dr. is great. your dr had no business doing that, too close to your vision, and absolutely did not know what she was doing. i smell a lawsuit, which i would never say, but i am sick of drs. and others saying they can do all these procedures just to cash in without dealing with insurance companies. you could have been blinded.. go back, and also see an attorney if you have anything permanent. i did notice your price of procedure listed as $150. I have never ever heard of anything in that ballpark. the cheapest ever, on sale, was about 450. per syringe. ask your dr. how many times she injected people's eyes, you may be surprised at her answer. i just hope the liability doesnt lie with you for not doing your homework.. sorry for you, but go back.
