My
Experience
with Restylane Treatment
I Became interested in Restylane to fix
a problem of hollowness across my cheeks. I am not a bad looking
woman-- I think i have a pretty good facial structure with the normal
sprinkling of flaws here and there. Overall, I like my face. The only
things are those dark shadows in the hollows of my cheeks that distract
quite a bit from my appearance. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a
nice painting-- a nice painting with smears across its surface. I
wanted those smears gone.
I made an
appointment with a dermatologist for my first Restylane treatment.
After my bad experience with mesotherapy, I decided to do my homework
and thoroughly research about Restylane. This time I am going in with
my eyes and ears wide open supported by facts and not merely by hear
say or word of mouth.
I
looked up my
information on the internet: Many people practice restylane
injections-- nurses, physician assistants, general practitioners,
gynecologists, even dentists. Apparently, there are not very stingent
requirements for one to administer or inject restylane. So I wanted to
plan this very safely by deciding that I would make an appointment with
either a dermatologist who knows about facial structure and skin, or a
cosmetic surgeon. I went with a
dermatologist who has a fairly decent practice in Irvine California and
has a good amount of
experience injecting restylane.
Restylane Advice #1: Pick
a doctor who has a good reputation. They have so much to lose if they
screw up, so chances are, they will not screw up. Remember, this is
YOUR FACE.
When a doctor
looks at your face, he has his own perspective of how your face should
look like. This is fine when coupled with the fact that, assuming he
has has done the restylane injections many times before, he has the
expertise of knowing where to inject and where the restylane is going
from the injection site.
The other parts
of the story is how you see your face and how you want it to look like.
You must communicate very clearly to your doctor which areas you want
the restylane to affect. This communication is key. Most of the time,
you and your doctor will agree. Sometimes, however, you will find that
you and your doctor don't exactly see on the same level. Remember,
beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What looks good to your doctor
may not necessarily be what you want. Ultimately, it is how you want
your face to look like and what will make you happy.
