Last Visit...
$1,400
Yesterday I had my follow up visit with Chelsea Eye Associates. I've now, in total, had three visits there.
On the first visit I was seen by one of the nurses, who injected Hyaluronidase under my eyes. The cost of the visit was $300 and, sadly, nothing happened. The following week I had to leave on an extended business trip to Europe and was gone about a month.
When I got back, I was able to see Dr. Aviatar who injected me also with Hyaluronidase. The cost of the second visit was again $300. But this time I began to see results within hours.
I was then scheduled for a follow up appt. (yesterday). The doctor eventually saw me about an hour and a half after my appt. time. Although the attending assistant was very pleasant and repeatedly apologized, when the doctor finally arrived, after sitting in that tiny room for so long, I was pretty much ready to leave. Although Dr. Aviatar in no way acknowledged the hour and half delay, he did answer all my questions and is quite obviously an accomplished practitioner.
He finished by suggesting more Restylane plus Perlane to act as support. Having gone through months of the Restylane mishap, I became hesitant - which the doctor picked up on and, shortly afterward, excused himself. At that point, the assistant, who kindly said he understood why I wanted to consider everything carefully, told me that to make up for the waiting they would take off $150 from the two filler procedure - making that final cost $1750. They could see me in a few weeks.
To be honest, it simply felt a little like a conveyor belt and, for that reason, I won't be returning. There was no cost for the third visit.
I wasn't sure whether to write this follow up because, I guess, I wanted to wrap everything up in a nice bow and be done with it...but then I figured I should mention exactly what happened - especially after reading other online reviews from people who got the same impression I did.

Finally getting it fixed
Update: Yesterday, I finally went to a doctor to have the Restylane dissolved. I used Dr. Eviatar at Chelsea Eye Associates (NYC) and it couldn't have gone better. He's really great and as he promised, the restylance was almost completely dissolved within a few hours. True, it looks a little like deflated balloons under my eye at the moment, but at least I can start again and I don't have that monstrous bulbous look. Seeing Dr. Eviatar next week to move forward with another procedure. All good.

I had restylane injected into my cheeks to I was told it would make the hollows in my eyes look better, 2 years later I am still suffering today I had my 2nd ultra sound I have lots of small cyst like lumps under the skin. I have been on steroids for 2yrs now to keep the swelling down, if I don't take the steroids I look like I've done 10 rounds in a boxing ring. I now have cholesterol deposits under my eyes and I broke my foot last week I do believe this is caused by the steroids, my doctor has tried everything and has never seen anything like it. Stay away from fillers.

I have had restylane in my upper eyelid now for 2 full years, and shows no sign of dissolving on it's own. The skin is wrinkled and spongy. My other eye (no fillers in that eye) is smooth so it is not "normal" aging but the filler causing the wrinkling.
