Tyndall effect 6 years after lips were injected. Any suggestions? (photo)

StaceyozAug 30, 2016
I had the border of my upper and lower lips injected with restylane nearly 6 years ago and I have the Tyndall effect still. I did go to see a doctor regarding this who confirmed that it had been injected too superficially. When I smile you can really see it and it causes a ridge along the edges of my lips. will this ever go or will I need treatment to remove it.

We really can not advise you on something that we don't even have any idea what could look like. Please, post some photos to be able to assess your lower eyelids and be able to answer your concerns.

I have never heard of putting tape over a Restylane injection site, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, as long as your results are good. Please call your practitioner if you feel uncomfortable. Best, Dr. Emer

The under eye does best with lasers, microneedling/PRP, fillers. I suggest you see an expert for treatment options.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question! The amount of water that you drink should not have an impact on how long your Restylane results will last. Drinking lots of water every day has many health benefits, so keep up the good work!

If unhappy please reverse the fillers, but it appears you have an allergy and this needs to be treated first.   Please see your physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Reverse the filler and start RF treatments such as exilis ultra or venus legacy to soften the area.  Best, Dr. Emer.
