There is no silicone in Restylane.The active ingredient in Restylane is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body. Hyaluronic acid has the ability to absorb 1000 times its weight in water and occurs in much higher percentages in babies' skin.
Hi Iggy,No, there is not silicone in Restylane. I have recently seen a group of patients who were told that they recieved Restylane, but the product remained unchanged in their lips for two years.

It is unlikely that smoking will affect the longevity of the filler product whether it is restylane or another HA.
This is a hard question. I would say that if under 30, most only need 1/2 per side. At about 40, 1 syringe per side is normal. After 50, mayber 1.5 syringes per side. Genetics, premature aging from sun exposure, medical disease can all affect the volume needed. I now love to use Defyne and...
