How long do I have to wait to get Restylane fillers/yag laser after Lasik? (Photo)

Question

Hi, so I'm planning on going ahead with getting lasik but I also have 2 other cosmetic procedures I want to do something about later on down the road: I have tear troughs/really deep hollows so I wanted to get Restylane fillers for that and I also have a flat blue vein underneath one of my eyes that I want to fix with a yag laser to see if that will make any difference in how prominent it is. I was wondering how long I should wait after my lasik surgery before I do these two other procedures?

Thanks for your question. It would be best to have the Lasik done before the filler treatments. It's safer route in my opinion. Best Wishes, Dr. Newall

I appreciate your question.I would typically wait at least 4 weeks to allow for your lasik healing and also get clearance from that physician before you undergo fillers or cosmetic lasers.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

There is no reason you have to wait on getting laser treatments on your face or fillers, if you are getting lasik they can be done at the same time.  I suggest coordinating the care with your physicians.  Best, Dr. Emer.

usually we recommend to have the LASIK surgery before any of the filler injection for the tear trough deformity, as well as any laser treatment of lower eyelids. I would also, recommned to have the laser treatment prior to Restylane injection.

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO · Answer

Thank you for the question. There is no problem having either of those procedures performed after you have LASIK. Just to be extra safe, wait 1-2 weeks and then you can be certain that it is medically acceptable to have filler and laser treatments performed. Good luck with all your plans.
