Can you distribute one syringe of Restylane to two areas of face?

Question

For follow up treatments would you ever be able to distribute one syringe of Restylane between your tear troughs and a tiny bit to nasolabial folds for touch up?

Joelle Rogal, MD · Answer

Yes, in general, you should be able to distribute a single vial of Restylane to multiple locations.  Restylane does not absorb that much water, and so it can be used for areas like the tear troughs, but can also be used in the nasolabial folds.  Certain other fillers that are thicker or absorb more water may not be able to be used for 2 specific areas.  Ultimately, it depends on the filler and the area that needs to be filled.  I would recommend speaking with your provider about what they recommend.

Hi @spagirl83. Yes, it is possible, but keep in mind that 1 syringe of filler is equivalent to a blueberry. Best of luck, Dr. Nima

Yes, plastic surgeons and dermatologists can inject one syringe of Restyles in different areas of the face. One issue to consider is that one syringe may not be sufficient to treat multiple areas. Speak to your injector to help determine appropriate treatment options. Read more about filler injections in our blog link below.potomacplasticsurgery.com/blog/category/fillers/Best,Dr. Chaboki

Yes, one syringe can be used in multiple areas; however, without a photograph or consultation, it's difficult to know if this will give you the improvement or touch-up you're looking for. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert who can advise you on the best filler(s) and right amount of filler to achieve your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

You can certainly use a single 1cc syringe in multiple locations on your face.  Using one syringe however, does not mean full correction of all of those areas so before you use only 1cc in multiple areas make certain that the areas that you want corrected will not be short changed in order to use the syringe in other areas.  Your injector should be able to help you with that but sometime it is during the injection where you find out that you need more or less product than anticipated.

Yes, it is absolutely possible to use one syringe of Restylane to treat two different areas of the face.  This is commonly done.  The amount of Restylane needed can vary by patient, but especially for a touch up treatment, one syringe could be enough.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes, a syringe of Restylane can be used to treat different areas for the same patient.  Your injector can help you determine the recommended amount for each area based on a physical assessment.  Always see an experienced injector.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

Yes, it can be. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

It is possible to distribute one syringe of Restylane to different areas of the face depending on the area and the volume that is needed. It is always recommended to consult with a licensed professional who has experience with fillers to better access and determine the best treatment option for you specifically. Good luck!

Hi, thank you for your question. The answer is yes, you can use the same syringe to treat different areas of the face. The questions that need to be answered though are, depending of your features and the areas you want to treat, is 1 syringe enough to achieve the desired results? And is the texture of the product that is being used suitable for both areas you want to treat. Your injector can answer those questions by examining you and discussing your goals with you. Best of luck!
