How many days of recovery time can I expect with Restylane? Can I have it done in the morning and go to work without anyone really noticing?
Answer: Minimal downtown with Restylane The estimated 'downtime' varies from patient to patient and also is based on the injection technique, and somewhat depends on the type of filler used. The short answer is this: with any hyaluronic filler (Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm, Prevelle and Elevess) you can expect the following 1. redness and swelling immediately after injection for 24-36 hours. This is usually minimal, and most people have no problems interacting socially immediately after injection 2. some mild bruising (which again depends on patient, product and injector) which subsides over 4-5 days. Many patients experience no bruising at all. 3. The final cosmetic result is achieved once swelling subsides after 5-7 days. 4. sleeping with head slightly elevated helps with swelling after injection 5. gentle icing immediately after injection helps with swelling and bruising Most kindly, Scott Sattler MD FACS

Answer: Restylane Recovery Thank you for your question. It really depends on what area you are treating and how much product is being injected. Usually, you can expect swelling to last a couple days, in some cases longer. Bruising is also different for everybody. Some people don't even bruise at all, but it is expected. Over all, recovery can be from a few days to a week. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

Answer: Normal activity within 24 hours or less. The vast majority of plastic surgeons allow patients to resume normal activities immediately following Restylane injections.In the case of strenuous activities patients are asked to wait at least 24 hours before restarting exercise routines.Strenuous activities can elevate blood pressure and cause bleeding at the injection site.It’s therefore important to avoid massage and drugs that are associated with bleeding.These include Ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin and Aspirin to name a few.Although bleeding won’t affect the ultimate aesthetic result from this procedure, it can cause bruising.For this reason, patients shouldn’t schedule Restylane injections prior to important social events.In your case it’s possible to have a Restylane injection in the morning and return to work later that day.Unfortunately there’s always the risk of bruising.When bruising does occur it may be hard to hide even with concealing make-up.

Answer: Restylane Downtime When undergoing Restylane injections, downtime should be quite minimal. There can be swelling which lasts a day or so, depending on where the product is injected. If an area like the lip is injected, it can take up to a few days for swelling to resolve. Other areas may show little or no swelling. However, it is always possible to develop a bruise, especially if you are using NSAIDs (aspirin, motrin, etc) or blood thinners, and a bruise can often take several days to resolve.

Answer: Restylane Downtime and Recovery The biggest side effect or cause of downtime is bruising and if you are off all blood thinners you should be ok. You can also laser bruises and make them clear up much faster. Most of my patients are going right back to work after treatment.
