Overall rating

This was my second time getting Restylane done around my eyes. The first time I went to a different doctor and only had injections under eyes. This time I did both under & upper eyelid (2 syringes). I was IN LOVE with the results for the first two days. I was crying that my biggest insecurity (hollow eyes / looking like a racoon or being asked if I was sick without concealer) was fixed for $1400. Unfortunately the results died fast (procedure Tuesday night & back to normal on Thursday/Friday). I followed all post care instructions he gave me & had one minor bruise on one upper eyelid for a few days. I emailed Dr. Kotlus's office about how the results disappeared and was told what I had loved was just swelling and I'd have to pay $450 for a 3rd syringe if I wanted the swollen look. Since then I have experienced "fluctuating swelling" (Dr. Kotlus called it this in a later email) where some days I LOVE my eyes and somedays it looks like I didn't have anything done and I hate myself for having spent so much money on this. I have learned that doctors who charge less for syringes after the first one are not necessarily giving as good or as much product that is in the first syringe. Do not base your choice on his instagram - those results don't last much longer than leaving the procedure room. I gave 2 stars because he was nice & I didn't have to wait a long time (unlike the first doctor I went to).
