How Long Does It Take to See Results from Restylane?

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that’s
frequently used to treat marionette lines. It’s associated with excellent
clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction.In the
vast majority of patients who undergo Restylane injections, results are
apparent almost immediately.In some
cases, these results can be obscured by the presence of swelling.In most cases, this swelling has resolved
within 24 hours of the procedure, but in some cases may persist for 3 to 5
days. Your
history suggest, that your swelling may have been a significant contributor to
your initial result.Resolution of your
swelling has resulted in a noticeable decrease in the fullness of the injected
area.This doesn’t mean that anything
has been done wrong or that you’ve had an unfavorable reaction to the
filler.It just means you need
additional Restylane.When this type of
scenario arises, an additional syringe can easily be administered to correct
the problem.It’s
important to understand that most surgeons charge by the syringe for the volume
given at the time of treatment.It’s
safe to say that with additional volume you should have an excellent result.

It is likely that in addition to the benefit you received form the Restylane injection, the swelling that invariably results from the injection trauma may have caused some additional benefit. Typically, the swelling lasts about 7-10 days. You may need to have some additional filler injected. I would suggest discussing this with the surgeon who performed the injections. 

When performed properly, results from Restylane are immediate. If they are not immediately perfect you need to see a dermatologic surgeon who is an expert in using facial fillers, like Restylane and others, to correct the problem.
