I had 1 syringe of Restylane injected into my left nasolabial fold about 3 weeks ago. I was immediately impressed with the results. However, after about 2 weeks, the wrinkle was fully evident again. Did the doctor do something wrong, or did my body reject it? What happened? I don't have that kind of money to waste. Thanks.
Answer: Restylane resolved quickly
If Restylane is injected into the mid to deep subcutaneous compartment underneath the dermis, it might be resorbed much more quickly than if it were injected into the superficial fatty layer immediately underneath the dermis. It might be worth another try, somewhat more superficially, or try the thicker and deeper counterpart of Restylane, Perlane.

Answer: Restylane Effects Gone 2 Weeks After The Procedure Post-dermal filler injections, most patients observe transient swelling. As the swelling resolves over the course of 2-3 weeks, you have a more realistic representation of your end-result. Without seeing your photos or in person, it is difficult for me to say exactly what happened, but perhaps you need an additional syringe to achieve optimal correction. In most cases I recommend 1 syringe for each nasolabial fold to achieve a nice aesthetic result that will last. Best to follow up with your injector for evaluation and next steps to ensure you are pleased with your result.

Answer: You may need additional filler. Restylane is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that’s frequently used for lip augmentation.It’s associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction.Your history suggest that your swelling may have been a significant contributor to your initial result.Resolution of your swelling has resulted in a significant decrease in the fullness of the injected area.This doesn’t mean that anything has been done wrong or that you’ve had an unfavorable reaction to the filler.It just means that you need additional Restylane.When this type of scenario arises, an additional syringe can easily be administered to correct the problem.It’s important to understand that most surgeons charge by the syringe for the volume given at the time of treatment.It’s safe to say, that with additional volume you should have an excellent result.

Answer: 2 weeks is too short for Restylane effects to disappear It sounds like one of two things are going on: It could be that the initial satisfaction you had was related to swelling and now that this has subsided, there may not be enough product to fill the area in question. It could also be that the product was injected incorrectly which will cause premature degrading. Either way, 2 weeks is much too short a time for the product results to disappear. We suggest as a starting point to go back to your injector for a checkup to further explore what's going on. If that does not work out well for you, get a second opinion with another injector. Good luck.

Answer: Restylane for smile lines: think about 2 or 3 vials Generally the nasolabial folds are deep structures that benefit from significant volume. It was likely injected on the deeper side which can hide some of the fullness but if you inject it too superficially it may be too visible. One syringe is probably not enough for you and you may likely require two or three syringes. Obviously that presents a financial burden for you. The alternatives are to undergo other fillers such as Radiesse which pack more product into each syringe or to contemplate autologous fat injections which cost more upfront but may provide you with a longer term result.
