    Default Had My Botox & Restylane

    So I had the Botox for my frown lines and Restylane for the corners of my mouth and undereye hollows. The Botox isn't a big deal - feels like a pinprick. It takes 6-8 days for it to go into effect.

    The restylane...well I had been warned about the pain, but holy sh*t! The corners of the mouth weren't so bad; it was the undereye hollows. I had tears running down my face; it hurt so bad! Next time I'm going to go in an hour early and get rubbed down with the numbing cream. Only 1 cc was used.

    I'm happy very happy with the results - I might go in for a little touch up in one corner of my mouth but, the eyes are a drastic improvement. There was one injection that bruised a little bit but the swelling has gone down for the most part.

    So that's my field report!

    I'm glad to hear you're happy with the results. The restylane is something I'm starting to consider.

    It's a filler usually used for the nasolabial area. Apparently under the eyes too. I think it can be used for lips also? not sure.

    Yes, it can be used for lips. Q-med, the company who makes Restylane, also makes a product called Fine Line (for fine lines) and Perlane, a thicker version of Restylane that can be used to shape facial contours. Perlane isn't FDA approved yet but some surgeons and dermatologists are using it anyway.

    I already want more stuff done; it's like renovating a house - you fix one room and then you want to fix another! It's very important to research your derm or PS first - there's an art to injecting the stuff and bad technique ain't pretty:



    My doc is good technically but I wasn't impressed by his bedside manner, so I think I will try Dr. Romano next time (jromano.com).
