As the other panel members described, both products are very safe and naturally degrade in our bodies with time. New research has demonstrated that our bodies may make new collagen in the areas where the cosmetic dermal fillers begin to slowly break down and degrade - a good thing!See the below link for further information.
I am assuming you are asking about NON-permanent fillers (such as collagen-based fillers, hyaluronic based fillers such as Restylane and juvederm).Neither of them persists indefinitely. Each is broken down and removed much like our own tissues (collagen, hyaluronic acid (in eye gel and joint spaces) is broken down and continuously replaced).Lastly, neither one has been shown to affect our immune response.
Botox or the botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that acts on neurons to prevent the release of the chemical that causes muscles to work. Although muscles that have been paralyzed with Botox regain function in 3-4 months, this is due to generation of new nerve fibers that don't contain the Botox. The toxin is metabolized, locally by normal protein degrading enzymes, eventually and the by products reused by the body or excreted.Restylane is composed of hyaluronic acid which is a normal component of the skin dermis. Therefore, there are proteases or proteins that normally degrade this protein. The metabolism is the same for Restylane as the skins hyluronic acid.

I would check with your doctor first to see if he/she approves of you having this done and you are medically ok, but I do not see any major contraindication with a person that is Hep B positive as long as you are not in the active phase of Hepatitis..
Although there is no formal recommendations regarding Botox after blepharoplasty it's up to your surgeon. Depending on what lids were operated on and how much work was done will determine when you can get Botox. With that said I would recommend waiting 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Yes this is completely normal. It takes up to 2 weeks for your botox to take full effect, so it will take up to 2 weeks for swelling/bruising to subside.
Thank you for your question. The frown lines between the brows can be address two different ways: 1) Botox or Dysport can be used to soften the deepening of the frown lines when making a frown expression. The treatment may even soften the lines that are present at rest. The effects typically...
