Restylane: Can dental work mess up my injections if the doctor is pulling on my face.

Question

I had the injectiobs done 4 months ago. Restylane

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, at this point you have your final results with Restylane and should have not problems getting your dental work. Best, Dr. Emer

Babak Azizzadeh, MD · Answer

Great question! Seeing as that your fillers were done 4 months ago, having a dental appointment where the dentist will be pulling on your face should not have any negative impact on your result. If you have concerns about the specific type of dental procedure that you are scheduled for, I recommend calling the physician who performed your injections so that they can address your questions in more detail.

David W. Kim, MD · Answer

Hi galinahogan,Thank you for your question. Having dental work at this point should not be a problem. Typically, fillers such as Restylane are only "moldable" initially. At four months, your filler is "set," so should not move or be affected by your dentist.

Jill C. Fichtel, MD · Answer

Getting dental work four months after Restylane injections is perfectly fine.  It will not displace your filler.  Generally, I recommend my patients wait at least a few days before any procedures that might affect settling of their filler.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

You should be okay since restylane has had time to settle. However, you should not have dental work immediately after a dermal filler as that can displace the filler. Consult your injector as he or she knows the scope of the treatment and the specifics about you.
