Restylane question (lumpy) - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

I had restylane injected under my eyes to fill in the hollow areas that I've always had there. One eye looks really good - the other kind of got a pocket under it. I went in to see the nurse yesterday, she called me back today and said the doctor said to massage it in a rolling motion, that it was not too late to move it around. I've read a little bit about scaring etc. and wonder if I just shouldn't have it removed with that dissolving injection? Or has anyone had success doing this?

It's been two weeks.

Did your physician suggest Sculptra by any chance? Made by the same people, Allergan. It is a better product for beneath the eyes.

I work in plastics.

I'm not sure it's available in the US, but I'll look it up. Thanks. It's starting to settle down a bit.

It's avaible here. My derm has it. Not sure of the cost. She uses it on her patients that have HIV. To fill in their face. It works well however I have never had the chance to ask any of them if they like it. I was not suppose to know the patient had it done. The walls are kinda thin in her offices. I heard her through the wall and saw the outcome.
