How long does it take to see a change with Restalyne.. It was injected on the marionette lines corner of mouth near jaw.

Hi Kendall,Thanks for your question.  The great thing about fillers is the "instant gratification" because you can see the changes right after the injections have been done before the swelling sets in.  If the swelling has resolved and you still don't see a change, most likely you need more of a correction.  I always take before and after photos with my patients so we can compare the changes together and make sure the outcome was what my patient expected.  I would return to the provider who injected you and discuss your concerns.  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Hello,
Your results from the injectable should have been immediate. I would contact your injector if you have not seen anything by now. You can take a look at our FAQ if that would help as well.

It can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Restylane. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. For marionette lines, I recommend fillers for the lines themselves and to provide anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building. Ultherapy and rf treatments provide skin tightening and lift, while lasers and microneedling/prp can improve texture and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. You should see a change with fillers almost immediately. There can be some swelling, which can take up 2 weeks to resolve. If you are unhappy with your results, please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!

You should see a change with filler almost immediately. You may have some swelling initially but after a few days in  most cases the swelling goes away.

Melvin Elson, MD · Answer

With fillers the change should be immediate.  If there is no significant change after a week there is not going to be any. Be sure you see a board certified dermatologist

Mark L. Mazow, MD, FACS · Answer

Generally speaking, results in the Marionette lines are immediate. There can be some variability in swelling for the first one to two weeks. If you are not satisfied then see your doctor for options.

Satyen Undavia, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. You should see results with Filler immediately after the treatment. Sometimes you get swelling in the final results will take approximately one week, however you should've already seen some improvement. Sometimes you need a little bit more than one syringe. Good luck!

Matthew Elias, DO, FAAD · Answer

Thank you for your question,  While it ultimately may take 2 weeks to see final results with fillers, the beauty of them is that you will see immediate results after the treatment.  If you are dissatisfied please follow up with your board certified Dermatologist/PS who injected you and discuss additional options include reversal of filler, or placement of additional filler.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
