Undereye Restylane Does Not Last Long at All. Where Do I Get Revanesse in California?

It is illegal for a physician in the United States to use a non-FDA approved medication unless it is in clinical inestigation FDA-apporved studies. Revanesse is a hyaluronic acid, the properties of which. Unless FDA-approved and manufactured here in the United States, you really don't know what you're getting.  If there are adulterants in a product to make it last longer, you might develop an immune reaction that could cause disfigurement.

Hi Cal girl,

It is not the arrow but the Indian.  It is not the Restylane that is not lasting under your eyes, but the injector's lack of ability to fill the area.  Filling the hollows of the lower eyelids is not a "commodity" that you buy like an iPad.  Injection in this area is a skill and art that requires experience.  I would not recommend Radiesse in this area as it may cause long lasting lumps that cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase.  I would not use Juvederm here either as it can be too hydrophobic and cause troublesome swelling.

Would be interested in why your interest in Revanesse, a hyaluronic filler that has not been on the market in the U.S. yet. 

Good luck and be well.

I agree with the other doctors that Restylane and Radiesse are excellent fillers in the tear trough area for most patients. Although I love Juvederm, I don't like it for this area because it's hydrophilic (water binding) nature sometimes creates a blue swollen appearance. This can occur occasionally with Restylane as well but less likely with good technique. Both Restylane and Radiesse usually last up to 12 months or longer in this area.
