I am a 56 yr old woman and will be getting Restylane injected for the hollow look under my eyes. I had fat injections and Restylane in my cheeks over a year ago and now have a hollowed look under my eyes that makes me look tired.To prepare for this procedure and to minimize bruising is it best to stop taking aspirin and all NSAIDs(Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug). I am hoping to go to work the next day do most patients have black eyes and swelling? If this occurs how long does it last? Thank You!
Answer: Absolutely stop medications that thin the blood before Restylane injections Many presription and over the counter medication thin the blood and make bruising much more likely with under eye Restylane treatment. Herbal products are also likely to thin the blood. Even the grapefruit juice in the South Beach diet seems to increase the risk of bruising.

Answer: Bood thinners prior to injections of fillers Thank you for sharing your question. It's best to discontinue blood thinners a week before procedures if this is acceptable to the doctor who started you on the medication. It's more important to choose an experienced injector who will be best at avoiding excessive bruising. Good luck!

Answer: Stopping NSAIDS before restylane I would definitely recommend stopping NSAIDS such as ibuprofen and advil a week before having Restylane injections to minimize the risk of bruising. Most of my patients will not be missing work because of the filler injections but there is always a risk of bruising.

Answer: Stop the Motrin / Advil - like medication before fillers It is good practice to stop the non steroidal antiinflammatory agents for two days prior to injectables, especially the hyaluronic acids such as Restylane and Juvederm, prior to use as they can cause bruising themselves. Aspirin should be stopped for ten days before the procedure, but some patients need to take it for important reasons and they may continue, but they may experience more bruising.

Answer: Avoid aspirin, herbs, vitamins and anything you can a week before Restylane injections While there are many things that can make a treatment with fillers into a bruising experience (literally), the technique of the person who is injecting and the appropriate decision as to where to inject is the most important.
