How to Stop Wrinkles Caused by Restylane?

LuciLuciSep 12, 2009
How do I treat eye wrinkles caused by Restylane injections under the eye?  I had Restylane injected under my eyes 9 months ago.Now, as it begins to wear off, I am getting deep under eye wrinkles. Before, I had no eye wrinkles, just hollows. I am only 30.I'm afraid Restylane may have stretched out the skin around the eye. Are there any procedures out there to treat this? And can I stop it? The Restylane hasn't completely dissolved.

Hello oulipo.  The answer to the question very much depends on the patient.  In most cases, we will use between .5cc and 1cc for both sides combined.  With that said, we have had a patient that required 1 cc for each side because of her facial anatomy. When we reach for a 1 cc...

Yes it is inevitable but everyone reacts differently.  In general I would say you could have swelling all the way up to 2 weeks post injection with some bruising. I generally recommend icing the area for the first 48 hours which decreases the bruising and swelling. Good luck.

Most filler injections are well-tolerated in the office with just a small amount of numbing cream (no numbing at all in some patients, depending on the area). When injecting the lips, we will often perform a dental block to ease the discomfort, but otherwise, a little topical numbing cream is...

Your question is a politically loaded one, and so you will get a variety of answers. First, I am sorry to hear that you had difficulty after the nerve blocks, but it is unlikely to be related to the specialty-specific training that your doctor had; in order to "hit" the nerve, he had...

If an infection is caused by an injection, it is the bacteria on the skin that creates the infection. The gram positive streptococcus bacteria is used in the laboratory for synthesis of the product, but the living bacteria do not get incorporated into the product so they would not be the cause...
