Can Restylane Silk be used for both tear trough and lip areas? (Photo)

I appreciate your question.Yes Restylane Silk can be used for both lips and tear troughs.  It is FDA approved for lips and peri oral rhytides.  Tear Trough use is off label however yields an excellent result and both are very safe.The best way to assess how much filler you would need and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

The material is safe.  The safety depends on the skill, talent, aesthetic sense, proper knowledge of facial and skin structure and experience of the injector!  Any combination of areas can be done.  There are many injectors so pick accordingly.

Restylane Silk is FDA-approved to create volume and shape in the lips. However, it is perfectly safe to use it in tear troughs, too. When administered with microcannulas, which create less trauma and ease delivery, Restylane can fill out tear troughs, taking years off your appearance. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out how close you can get to your ideal using Restylane in your lips and tear troughs.

Restylane Silk can be used in both the lips (FDA approved) and in the tear trough (off-label usage).  I would make sure you go to an experienced injector as this tends to be a more nuanced product and the tear trough area requires advanced training and extensive experience to get a good result.

Yes, Restylane Silk has FDA indication for lips, and off-label is great for the tear trough. Since this is your first time doing filler, achieving a fuller lip needs to be done in stride to not look overdone. Start with one syringe split between both areas as Restylane Silk tends to go a long way due to its viscosity, particle size, and swelling.

Restylane  silk is an ideal product for tear troughs and lips especially in young women.   It creates a lip gloss look on the lips and does not look over done.  In addition it goes away smoothly.  

It's important to have realistic expectations about what lip fillers can accomplish for you. Although it may be virtually impossible for you to have Kylie Jenner's lips, you will be able to have the best volumized version of your lips to match the proportions of your face. Also, your goals may not be accomplished with just one treatment and additional touch up injections may be required. It is important that you find an experienced injector that can help you accomplish your goals while setting the appropriate expectations. Restylane Silk can safely be used for the lips and tear troughs, but you will probably need more than 1 syringe. Hope this helps.

Using restylane silk in the trough is off label but using it in the lips is on label.  I have used it in both with great success.  Go to someone with experience and who uses cannulas to limit complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes Restylane Silk can be used in both the Tear Troughs and into the lips.  Using a cannula for the Tear Troughs and for the lips creates less brusing and swelling.
I hope this is helpful to you.

Restylane Silk can be used for both lips and
tear troughs and produce some incredible results in both of these areas of the face. Make sure that you see a skilled provider
who can evaluate you in person to discuss what you are looking to achieve and
who can accurately determine how much filler you would need in your lips.
