My
Experience
with Restylane Treatment
(continued from Restylane Treatment)
Some
Things about Restylane: I've
had three treatments so far.
These are some of my observations about Restylane based on my personal
experience. Keep in mind these may be subjective but I decided I
should share them anyway.
Restylane Experience
- To a certain degree, restylane can be moved, molded, and manipulated
up to the first hours of injections. I have noticed that I can flatten,
shape, or move the restylane. I discovered this by accident after my
first treatment. I was advised to massage the right side of my under
eye area, as it was swelling more than the left side. At first, I
thought I noticed that after some massaging, I had actually moved and
flattened the restylane from the injection area, but I thought I was
imagining it. Now after two more restylane treatments, I know for sure,
at least in my case, that I can move it and emphasize it only to a
certain extent.
Restylane
Expectations - The following paragraph should be logical, but
what woman who is on a quest for beauty is logical? When you create
volume on a certain are of your face, it affects the apperance of the
other areas, too. Let's say you have a certain area of your face where
you may have a minor flaw/hollowness/darkness which was unnoticeable to
you pre-restylane treament. Now, say you decide to have restylane
injections on your cheeks to create more volume there. Fine, now you
have fuller cheeks. But all of a sudden, you see how hollow and dark
your under eyes area is. It's like you have two negative parts of an
equation; if you make one of them positive (in this case, better
looking), the negative now becomes more noticeable.
I am sharing this because I have personally experienced it. It is not
to say it is good or bad. Personally, I will always want to look better
if possible. But my point in sharing this is to make you aware of what
goes when you start "renovating" your face. You want more because you
want more, not entirely because you are a vain person (well, I am, I
admit it), but also because the some other areas of your face now
contrast to the restylane treated area. And, of course, you would feel
a need to improve those other areas. This "chain reaction" is a normal
reaction that you need to recognize and be aware of and know how to
manage.
I can liken the process to tweezing your eyebrows. You can get carried
away and over-pluck. Or in this case, over inject Botox, restylane, or
some other filler.
Remember, these are my own personal observations about restylane. They
may or may not all apply to you, but I hope they have provided some
insight, meaning, food for thought to anyone who is considering
restylane treatments.
