Nausea, Fever and Headache After Restylane - Montreal, QC

Thank you for your replies. I hope you are right. However I have a strong feeling it was related to the restylane because I had just had a bout of flu two weeks prior to the restylane, but my symptoms had completely resolved by the time I got the injections. Getting the flu twice in the same month seems rather unlikely. Also, my symptoms were like nothing I had ever felt before. I never get nauseous with the flu, and I'd never felt that kind of pounding headache before either. I actually thought I was having a stroke or something. Anyhow it's been a week now and I am 100% back to normal. I will be getting more restylane next year. However I will pass on any touch ups right now (doctor could inject more product next week if needed) because I cannot run the risk of feeling that awful again so soon.

I don't know if the restylane will last a full year. However I am planning to wait a year because of budget restrictions. I've already spent 1300$ on 2 rounds of injections since April; I feel it would be foolish to spend more!

Thanks Megan! I apologize for the spelling mistakes. What I meant to write is that I had little to no side-effects the first time. The second time was pretty scary though, with the migraine and nausea. Today I am 6 days post procedure and I feel like myself again. I don't plan on giving up on the restylane just yet. It could just be that I coincidently got the flu again right after the injections. However I doubt it, especially since I had never had a migraine in my entire life before (I am 33 years old). We'll see how my next injections go next year.

1500$ for one syringe is more than double what I paid for restylane.
