Thus is day 2 of Restalyn Lyft and my under eye circles are still very prominent as you can see. Also the right side swelled and there is drooping. I don't know if this is normal...please help. He used 1 Syringe. I'm not happy at all. I was told it takes 2 weeks fir results however when I research it Im finding results should be instantaneous. My circles look the same or worse since I did this. Soo frustrated. My sister had her eyes done and she looked great instantly! I'm soo upset!
Answer: I had 1 syringe of Restylane Lyft and no results? Hello Xander.Restylane Lyft is an excellent injectable, but I prefer Restylane L or Silk in the tear trough. Generally speaking the results of dermal filler in this area are immediate, but you also have to inject the right amount of volume to achieve a full correction. I suggest that you might need more Restylane. Perhaps you can try a different injector next time.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Answer: Lyft Leaving A Lot to Be Desired You appear to be experiencing some degree of swelling, which is entirely normal after a filler treatment. Depending on the specifics of the treatment plan agreed upon by you and your injector, you should notice improvement and/or full correction with regards to your volume loss. As this is an area that typically swells more than other areas of the face, it could be that your injector was taking a more conservative approach with his product of choice, however this should have been clearly communicated to you in your appointment. You might need additional correction to achieve optimal results. Your best bet would be to contact your injector and schedule/keep all follow up appointments.

Answer: Restylane Lyft results Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you return to your injector to discuss your results in more detail. Before pictures would help better assess what changes were made with one syringe. I often find that more than one syringe is needed to help develop the look that is one is looking for. In addition, on your right side. Also, technique varies immensely with filler injections and it is hard to know what was done. Typically I use Restylane under the eyes and Restylane Lyft in the cheeks, mid face, and nasolabial folds.

Answer: Lyft Under Eyes Thank you for the question. I'm sorry you are unhappy with the results. It is difficult to judge based on the angle of your pictures, but it appears one syringe is not enough volume to achieve a satisfactory correction. I commonly inject one syringe of Restylane per eye. I typically see a 75% correction at the time of injection and by two weeks following the procedure, 100% correction is obtained. This occurs because Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is hydrophilic. The HA attracts water molecules, thus resulting in an even greater filling effect. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in facial fillers.

Answer: Circles under my eyes after Restylane Hi Xander, swelling can take up to two weeks to resolve after filler. I would follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. I like to use a cannula to inject the tear trough region because I feel like I can get a more even layering of the produce and a better result. You may also want to consider a lower eyelid blepharoplasty in order reduce the bulging appearance of the lower eyelids.
