You went six years without having to have more fillers? OMG! I only wish I could be that lucky.

Can you tell a difference between restylane and the silk?

I have gotten fillers since (this is my third) my first time but in a different area each time as new lines have formed since. But those huge hollows from my first pictures have never returned since Feb 2009. I'm not sure in regards to Restylane and Restylane silk being different, (I didn't know that they were different) as things are still calming down but so far no difference that I can tell between the two.

Looks great. I'm deciding between restylane and fat transfer here in NYC, but can't find enough PS who do the fat transfer regularly to eyes so I'm still undecided. Would you mind saying how much it cost?

For one syringe of Restylane it was 515.00 for my last injections done August 2015.

So the first time that you had Restylane in 2009, was it plain restylane or restylane silk?
If you did get different types of restlyane then and now, What made you try the silk? I'm asking because the results lasted so long the first time, so why would you try something else? I know everyone is different, but how long did your bruising last?
I am in Oakville Ontario, and it costs $1,000 per syringe here on average. You are very lucky. I will get this done around Christmas time. And you look amazingly beautiful. So happy about your great results!!

Thank you! I honestly did not know that there was different kinds of restylane. I found out that it WAS just the Restylane and not the silk with my last injections. So all I have ever had was the Restylane not any other kind under my eyes. The bruising lasted about a week total for it to be gone. But it could be covered well with make up after about two days. Most of the bruising afterward was more yellow in color. Best Regards for your injections in December!

I wanted to add since last last comment that I got Restylane silk and once the swelling was gone, so was the results. I went back and got just the Restylane again and results are MUCH better. I will not use the silk anymore.

Though my old Restylane injections are still holding up I have since developed new shadows under my eyes. So I went in to see a new doctor since we have moved from Dallas, Texas to San Jose, California last year. Every thing went well . I am now pretty bruised up and have a blister type blood spot under my right eye where she had to put in a good amount in. She use 1/2 a syringe on each side. It's pretty large, about 1 1/2 inches. I remember this same thing happening before and since yesterday the swelling has decrease and the skin is now starting to itch some and turn yellow, so it's healing up. So far it looks pretty smooth. I'll be going back in for a check up in two weeks. Again I stopped all my vitamins and supplements about 5 days before going in for the injections. I also started taking Quercetin with Bromelain a few days before to help with swelling and inflammation. Also packed up Arnica cream to apply after injections and took Arnica Montana 6x under my tongue right before and continued to take it a few times a day for a few days to help with bruising and soreness. And of course used ice packs a lot the first day and some the 2nd day. I'll post updates as it heals more.

I also live in San Jose. Can you please tell me the name of the doctor who did your injection. I would really appreciate it. I've been shopping around. I had a horrible experience a month ago and would like to consult with a new doc.

Wanted to again give another update to say that the Restylane injections that I got by Dr. Sule in 2009 are still in place and plump! I did have a another session with Restylane under my eye again in August 2014 for some new lines that had formed. Dr. Sule had shared with me that some patients seem to hold Restyland forever while others do not. Hoping I'm one of those people! So far so good.

Wow! I can't believe how long it has lasted. You had great results.

Yikes 6 years is terrible news for me. Waiting patiently for mine to go away. :(

It's not too common for fillers to last this long and you can always get something to dissolve it instead of waiting it out. If you are not happy with your results you should tell your provider about it.
September 11, 2015
i had some dissolved and actually wish i hadn't it seemed to make it worse..... i now have a wrinkle where i never had one and a hollowed dent.... should have left the puffy bag alone I guess. happy u got good results!

I'm very sorry to hear about the attempt to correct your problem. I suppose you would not feel too comfortable doing injections again huh? :( I just got more under my eyes two days ago from a different doctor in Northern California. We moved from Texas so I had to go to a new doctor. I look like someone punched me in the eyes. But swelling is going down and I'm getting some yellow bruising with some itching so it's healing up. Hoping it all smoothes out and lasts a long time.
September 12, 2015
Squeaker I've seen many negative comments on this site from people whove had their restylane dissolved which is why I hesitate. (See bonitachloe's comment below yours). So I'm going to wait a while. My provider knows I'm not happy. He has a lot of experience but nevertheless screwed up my injections on one side of my face. Whats done is done though.

wow 6 yrs. how many syringes did u get
