How do I find out if Restylane was authentic?

I had restylane W board certified ps in October. Hyaluronidase will only dissolve my own tissue not the filler. I have the lot number and expiration date. Galderma confirmed it is a US product. But if a seller sells counterfeit filler it can also use a lot number from a real batch. I questioned my physician and she does not reply when I questioned her. I threatened patient abandonment. How do I find out if I was injected with real product?

Thank you for sharing your question. There should be no problem with having fillers injected 2 weeks after cataract surgery. Discuss this with your surgeon and have a board certified oculoplastic surgeon perform in person evaluation to discuss potential options.

Thank you for sharing your question. From the photograph, you lips look full enough. You can always add more to make it last longer, but then you won't look natural until the product dissolves. It's more important to have a natural appearance. An experienced doctor would know which product is...

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest...
