How soon can I get a top-up on my under eye Restylane filler? What is the recommended waiting period?

Question

I'm confident I need more filler to get the results I'm aiming for. I got filler a couple of days ago, so I realise I may have to wait at least a week or two. Is that too soon?

If you want more you can go get it immediately however if there is swelling in the area I suggest waiting 2 weeks to ensure most of the swelling is gone.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Typically, after being injected around the eye, patients experience swelling that works itself out over 2 weeks. Even being in that period it seems that you are quite sure that you will have suboptimal results.  I would bring this to the attention of your injector.  Usually, one can achieve satisfactory results with one syringe around the eyes.  If it is a technique flaw, I'm sure the injector will want to learn from it for future cases.  Other times, before and after photos will be used to show the patient the improvement that is evident but sometime difficult to appreciate.Best,Payman Kosari, MD, FAADDermatology, Laser and Vein SpecialistsCharlotte, NC*Please remember to +1 answers you like to keep them at the top*Also, "Follow" physicians you like to receive email updates as they post on RealSelf

As my colleague noted, there is no absolute waiting time required before reinjection.  In our practice, we like to wait a couple of weeks to make certain swelling and bruising are resolved, so we can make an accurate judgement of the sites to be augmented and volume needed for optimal results.  You should discuss the matter with your injector.  Best of luck!
