Can I get anesthesia and IV sedation soon after my restylane injections?

Question

I have scheduled restylane under eyes two days before my abdominal surgery which will require local anaesthesia and IV sedation. Will healing be impaired in any way due to this?

Having a minor surgery (or even a major one, for that matter) several days after dermal filler injection should not present and additional risks nor should the surgical procedure affect the dermal filler, since the surgery is not in the same area as the filler.

There should be no issue with having surgery after Restylane injections.  The Restylane injections will have no impact upon the procedure nor should the procedure have any impact upon the Restylane.

That you for your question.  I did both Dermatology and Anesthesiology residencies so with complete confidence I can say there will be no issues having local and iv sedation after restylane.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

Hello Ab81,There really should be no problem receiving anesthesia after filler injection.  You should mention it to your anesthesiologist, but it shouldn't be a problem.I hope this helps and good luck.

There is no reason you cannot undergo any procedure after Restylane--just be sure to notify both doctors of your intentions--the one doing the injection and the one doing the surgery
