Restylane ® is a naturally-occurring injectable agent that is used for lip augmentation and to soften facial lines and wrinkles. It was approved by the FDA for the treatment of lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose in December 2003, and Dr. Law has been using it exclusively for patients who are transient and reversible facial soft tissue enhancement for more than two years. We have this material proved to be very well tolerated, long-lived for most patients than collagen products have come and still have an allergic or inflammatory response.

Common signs of lower facial aging are thinning of the lips, deepening of the nasolabial folds (a fold of the outside of the nostrils to the corners of the mouth), and the development of "marionette" lines (running vertically downward from the corners of the mouth). These functions can in many cases, immediately and dramatically improved by the injection of soft tissue fillers like Restylane ®. The injection of Restylane ® can also improve some depressed scars, vertical lines around the mouth and other facial soft tissue abnormalities.
The Restylane ® Advantage
As Restylane ® does not carry the risk of an allergic reaction, which is associated with bovine (cow) collagen, no skin test is required. It is not harvested from cadaver sources of human injectable collagen products. Most importantly, it does not contain any elements that do not naturally occur in soft tissues, such as hydroxyapetite or methyl methacrylate, which can occur leading to granuloma (cyst) formation and chronic inflammation. Be very wary of injectable agents, materials that do not occur naturally in soft tissues, there is the risk of these complications include minimizing frequently in patients. Restylane ® injections take place in our medical practice and need only a few minutes. All injections are performed personally by Dr. Law. The aesthetic improvement is immediate, and in general we will try a little too much in the lips and overcorrect lines and folds, so that the desired effect remains once the mild initial swelling (in about 24 hours). The goal is an aesthetic improvement that appears natural. Most injections can be performed with little or no pain by the administration of local anesthesia just before the Restylane ® injection. Injection of the lips is usually completely pain free, with intra-oral anesthesia that produces total numbness of the lips. For injection of lines and wrinkles on the face, a local anesthetic solution is used, which causes vasoconstriction, reducing the likelihood of hematoma following the injection. Our goal is an immediate and beautiful aesthetic improvement can be done, with little or no discomfort or downtime. The duration of improvement varies from patient to patient, on average, about four to six months. Many patients, the results of Restylane ® treatments to enjoy permanent interest soft tissue enhancement. In these patients, Dr. Law structural fat grafting, using autologous (their own) fat. With special instruments and technique, structural fat grafting produce permanent improvements in facial contours.

A number of other products are available as soft tissue fillers, but many are not tested enough, and others have in some cases it was found that disastrous and permanently disfiguring results, such as how to make injectable silicone. Occur Remember, if you have the injection of a soft tissue filler, make sure that your doctor can explain what is the substance of why he or she has chosen it and what side effects and possible complications.
