What is Wrong if I See No Result 4 Days After Restylane ?

Hello.  The amount of product depends on the patient, but normally, we would not try to achieve a noticeable difference in the cheeks with 1 syringe of Restylane.  The same for the nasolabial folds (laugh lines).  

Normally we place 1 syringe of Radiesse or Restylane in each cheek and the same for each side of the nose and mouth.  The product is there, it's just been spread too thin.  Your injector should set this expectation beforehand so as to help you budget.  Also, you may want to consider Radiesse in these areas as it has a longer duration and a 1.5 cc syringe, vs. 1 cc for Restylane.  Good luck.

If so, have them take a photograph now and compare the two.  If the photos do not so a difference, it is likely that your injector has poor technique or you need more volume or both.  If no photos were taken, then you are getting service in the wrong place.  It is often very difficult to remember were you started from.  Without photographs documenting the treatment, it is your memory against that of your treating physician.  This is a formula for unhappiness.

Unfortunately, it is not totally uncommon to feel like you invested so much time and discomfort, and got not much out of it. The treatments when done by a well-qualified, safe physician injector are not cheap (you get what you pay for to some degree... so this is valid), and it can be surprising to patients to spend several hundred dollars and not feel "totally fixed". This has to do with expectations being set by the physician, and expectations brought to the treatment by the patient. It is unfortunately true that everyone has different facial structure, tissue density, and volume loss that needs correction. Patients also have different expectations of what they are hoping for when they come in. Some people truly do need two, three, or even rarely four full syringes of filler. This is just fact. Patients who can't afford to or don't want to spend a lot, may negotiate with the doctor to do only one syringe... and then end up disappointed or feel like "nothing changed". It's important to have a realistic conversation before you start, and then to remember that conversation after the initial swelling has reduced and it may be time for a little additional filler. Yes, expensive. Yes, likely worth it, with the right doctor.
