Restalyne and CPAP mask for Sleep Apnea, can I get if I sleep with a full face mask?

Question

I need restalyne around my mouth and smile lines going from nose to mouth however I have Sleep Apnea and sleep with a CPAP machine. My mask is the main culprit causing these lines. I sleep with a full face mask. Can I get fillers or will the mask displace it over time? Or would I benefit from a series of Microcurrent Facials ? I had dysport for forehead, bunny lines and around eyes and the sleep mask did not mess it up.

There’s nothing against having fillers around your mouth, nor would the mask displace them over time. It seems unlikely to me that your mask is causing these lines around your mouth. However, if you believe that the mask is the root of the issue, another consideration would be switching from the full-face mask to a nasal pillow mask. I would consult a facial plastic surgeon to discuss filler options, and then your sleep apnea specialist in regards to possibly changing your mask style.

Thank you for your question. I do not believe your sleep mask will interfere with your filler injections. However, it is always best to discuss your concerns with your injector. Best of Luck!

You should be able to get filler in the areas you are discussing withoug any problem from the mask.  You may need to get it more often than some patients but it will be ok
