How Safe is Restylane Between the Eyes?

Restylane is great for filling in superficial areas around the eyes and between the eyes in the glabellar region. Yes, there are potential complications with this, but they are very rare. Be sure you are comfortable with the person who is doing your injections. You may want to consider seeing someone who is board certified. As far as scar tissue is concerned, you may want to have your surgeon lift up the scarred areas with a needle first to allow the depressed areas to be elevated by the Restylane. This may help to prevent the "doughnut" effect you're worried about. Good luck!

Those side effects are very rare
if performed by a highly trained physician that is aware of the underlying
vasculature and knows how to quickly treat the complication should it actually
occur as rapid treatment mitigates most side effects. Only a small amount
should be injected and you can tell at the time of injection how the scars will
do and most acne scars do really well.

Botox is our first line of defense in our office.  Sometimes there will be deep lines that are still present.  In selected cases one can place juvederm in the area   This should be done by an experienced injector.
