I got diagnosed with Thrush, can I get Restylane before Christmas?

KrystalAvahNov 1, 2018
I do not know how long I've had thrush, but it hurts and over night I went to the dr because it seems to have spread to my lips a little. I got a Groupon for a gift and it expires December 1st. Can I still get Restlyane injections for my lips before December? I am on a liquid nystatin 4x a day for 2 weeks, and if still needed fluconazole she said I probably wont need that. But can I still get my lip injections within 3-4 weeks?

Than you for your question! Your doctor is correct in the fact that when there's too much hyaluronic acid filler you start to form bags in your eyelids and the filler starts to shift. This is exactly the reason why I prefer to use autologous fat grafting as it provides complete correction of th...

The fillers take so long to degrade that you really can't expect to wait this out. You have taken the right step of seeing an oculoplastic surgeon for an assessment. Did your injector also inject the eyebrows or subbrow areas? That is more often a cause of upper eyelid ptosis.

It's difficult to tell from your picture, but it can take up to 2 weeks for final results after Restylane. I would wait a full two weeks before assessing your results and whether you need a touch-up. Fat grafting is an alternative.

Hi @Ski bunny! I would recommend waiting two weeks for the swelling and bruising to subside. If you are unhappy after two weeks, you can dissolve the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Swelling and bruising is common after dermal fillers. The tear trough area is a very delicate area. I use a micro-cannula in my practice to decrease chances of bruising. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

If you are worried about your filler results because there is swelling, lumps or bumps, consider reversing it with hyaluronidase.  If that did not work it could be that you have a granuloma that needs steroids/5fu injections or surgical removal.  Ift scould be normal anatomy that should be ev...
