I had restylane the last November. The Dr. told me I only need one syringe -$700. I did not had pain, but after a week, my nasolabial area is looking almost the same as before. I when back to see my doctor and he told I need one more syringe. I am feeling very upset because I don’t know if he is telling me the true or not. I also had it on my on my marionette lines and after that he told me that it doesn’t work there. Now he thinks I should have radiesse. I should get a new doctor???
Answer: Yes find a new doctor.
The most important thing is the chemistry of confidence you have with your surgeon. If you are not sure you can trust you doctor, it is time to get other opinions. You have so many great choices where you live that there is no reason to feel stuck with a particular individual who makes you upset. The reality is that you probably do need more volume. Many doctor swear by Radiesse. I personally do not like this product. While I have used it, I switched over to Perlane when this product became available. The hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Perlane can easily be adjusted with an enzyme injection any time after treatment. It is not possible to adjust Radiesse in the same way. My advice is go where you are comfortable.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Gradual correction with dermal fillers is important #plasticsurgery When we see patients in clinic for fillers, I typically estimate the amount of 'syringes' that a patient would benefit from. Generally, patients don't want as much as we recommend, because of costs, or other considerations. So we inject some filler and make gradual improvements. Patients sometimes return and want more filler, which is fine. Gradual correction over time is better than inadequate correction.

Answer: Restylane and more or less product
It sounds like you need to re-evaluate your provider. Typically, you would sit down and consult to first discuss what treatment and product would serve your needs, then plan and treat. Discussing pricing and what the expectations are, should always be done prior to having anything injected to avoid conflicts like you've described.

Answer: The Secret to Fillers: Do You Need More?
There is no doubt that in well trained hands, fillers work. Typically, the secrets to patient satisfaction relate to 3 factors: 1) Injector technique. With the introduction of family Doctors, Dentists, and others into the milieu of injectables, it is incumbent on the patient to look at credentials and training (look for a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, or Occuloplastic Surgeon for your injectables),
2) Volume of filler. If you didn't receive enough filler in your nasolabial folds, you won't be happy, regardless of who your Doctor is. It is up to the Doctor to make the correct call on how much is required. More syringes leads to a higher cost, but remember that the Doctor has to have the ability to treat the problem you present with. If a patient needs 3 syringes and is only willing to pay for 1, the odds of dissatisfaction are much higher.
3) Expectations. Fillers will not give you a Facelift result. If your are advised to consider a Facelift for your concerns, but choose a filler instead, the odds of success are lower.
