Restylane for Tear Ducts. On the fence as to whether it's worth it.

WORTH IT$500
I decided to get Restylane for tear ducts, as I'm sick of people telling me I look tired, even when I'm not. I had this done at the Restylane clinic in Sweden. I'm lucky as Restylane is produced in Sweden, so there is a speciality here.
About the treatment, I was expecting it to hurt more. It was only the initial prick that hurt the skin and then this uncomfortable feeling of having something there, but as there is local anaesthetic in the treatment there was no pain. I was surprised to see there was quite a bit of blood once the needle left the spot, but that quickly dissipated.
After reading all of the reviews and horror stories I have been fully been expecting bruising, lumpiness and swelling. But so far I've been really lucky and only had a small spot from where the needle was on the right cheek, and it's the morning after.
So far I'm really happy with the treatment, I feel like it's really brightened my face and made me look more fresh/youthful. I'm really happy with my doctor, I've been going to him for Botox since last year and he's done a great job with both treatments.
It's only early days yet for the Restylane, but if there are any lumping or swelling developments I'll let you know.
Now I'm thinking of getting the restylane skinbooster for my acne scars and then botox for the corner of my lips, as it has a slight downward turn. Yes, I know, I'm addicted :))

Day 3 a bit puffy
Today's the 3rd day, feeling a bit puffy and slightly bruised under my left eye. Nothing that makeup won't cover, which I'm happy about. Luckily it's still the weekend, think it should be a bit better for work tomorrow. I can't wait until a full week has passed so I can see the results!

Hi there, the swelling is normal for the first wee while. The first few weeks after I had had my treatment, I was aware of slight swelling on and off but after a month or so it had settled well and I am so delighted with my results! You can see my review and photos if you are interested.

Thanks! I checked out your profile and your results are really great! I still have some lumpiness, especially under my left eye. Hoping it will go away soon

I hope so too. I think in some cases it can take a bit longer to settle, otherwise your practitioner may be able to correct it for you. Keep us posted!

PS I had to go back a 2nd time to get a bit more filler just to complete the treatment, and I am so glad I did as it worked fantastically.

That's great it worked out well after the correction :) I had my appointment booked for lunch time now for the check up and now regretting the choice in case he needs to add more filler. Last time I had two big red spots after the treatment. Well, we'll see! :) Are you happy with the filler in the cheeks? I'm thinking of getting the restylane skin booster to increase the collagen - I have mild acne scarring and it would be nice to get it filled out.

Absolutely love the filler in the cheeks. I hope your appointment goes ok. I know what you mean about the spots but at least if it corrects what you are unhappy about, it will be worth it. :)
