I recently (2 weeks ago) had restylane lyft injected into my temples. At the end of a week I noticed nodules appearing more on my left side. The injector kept massaging it in. When the swelling went down I noticed some nodules going into the sides of my eyes. When I told her, she said the bumps are there because she didn't have enough. Previously, I had voluma put there by a board certified plastic surgeon. It was always smooth. I am so distressed by this! What can I do?
Answer: Temples lyft... The dermal fillers (Restlyane, Juvederm, Sculptra) for the temples are placed deep. Usually at the end of a 3/4 inch needle and not on the surface. Injecting superficially in an injector issue and not the product. Fortunately, three's a medication which can be used to dissolve the product very efficiently. Contact your injector and notify them of your concerns.

Answer: Retylane Lyft Thank you for your question about Restylane Lyft. Typically filler is placed deep in this particular area. If the injector was too superficial you can actually palpate the product. I recommend returning to your provider and having them dissolve the product.

Answer: Dermal filler for hollow temples Restoring volume in the temples is an important part of achieving facial balance when temporal hollowing is present, and can also help restore the position of the lateral part of the eyebrow (when temples are hollow, brows can be droopy at the ends). In June 2017 at the "Cosmetic Bootcamp" meeting which is limited to only the very top, board-certified physicians in dermatology, plastic surgery and ophthalmology; technique for injecting the temples was demonstrated by several different expert injectors. As I've seen over the years injecting my own patients and always learning from other experts, both superficial and deep techniques can be effective in temporal injections. I usually use Restylane Lyft (formerly Perlane) after diluting it (for a more even spreading effect) or Sculptra, both with a "deep" injection technique. Those physicians who prefer the superficial approach use fillers such as Juvederm or Belotero, which are more appropriate for the superficial plane (and won't look lumpy when injected superficially). It's possible that more filler to "fill in" the spaces between the "bumps" may help as your injector suggested, or you may have to have the filler dissolved as some others suggested above; that can best be determined by consulting with a board-certified dermatologic (or plastic) surgeon who performs the procedure frequently.

Answer: Temple filler For the temples, Sculptra might be a better option. This can be injected deep to the temporalis muscle and if done in this way won't appear uneven.
