Restylane Moron from LA

| Pros | NONE FOR ME |
|---|---|
| Cons | EVERYTHING |
| Bottom line | Do not EVER let a physician talk you into treating line scars with NO depression with Restylane. If you have a scar with a straight line, applying Restylane will only bring the scar to the surface and make it much more pronounce. I had Restylane applied to my facial scar last week, and it made it look 5 times worse. The laws of physics are applies here: Every reaction has an opposite reaction. The process may work well if you have indentation, but for scars with no indentation, it will only raise your scar. |

| Pros | I haf aquamid done in the UK over two years ago to fill out acne scarring. The material is still in my skin and knock on wood I haven't had any problems. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I have very light bruising to this day in certain injection points which I believe is due to the fact that I have had two CO2 laser surgeries prior to the injections. |
| Bottom line | For under $850 a syringe for permanent improvment in scars this is the only thing that really worked for me. |

| Bottom line | I had Restylene injected into my top lip nearley 6 months ago. I had also had Aquamid (perm. filler) in the top lip 2 years ago. Within 24 hours my top lip had swollen to the point of causing agonising pain. Then masses of puss. This is apparently a clash of chemicals. I have been on siprofloxacin (anti biotics) for 6 months and apparently have to wait for the restylene to wear off before I can stop taking them. If I am not on anitbiotics at least 3 different areas of my top lip swell and leak puss. I have never known anything as awfull as this in my life! Please do not ever use any permanent with non permanent fillers. I may still have to have the Aquamid removed some how. Someone needs to document what happened to me! |

i had a restylane injection two weeks ago for facial scars. i am feeling like i overpayed after reading all the comments. i payed $1000.00, but i do get to go back in tomorrow for a touch up for free. i noticed a small improvement. believe i am happy for any improvement, but i don't know if it is worth $1000 every six months. i was bruised and had marks from the needle for a week. i wish there was a lasting reliable product out there.

I had two Restylane injections about two months ago for depressed scars. I was very swollen afterwards and my cheek continues to swell on occassion which is definately noticeable. Also I had a very small scar which was slightlty indented underneath the depressed scar that I had filled with restylane and now this scar is stretched and a lot larger in lenghth than it was before. Restylane only brings the scar closer to the surface and in my case can make any minor scars that are by the injection site even more noticeable than they previously were. As for the other scar that I had filled with Restylane which is deeper than the scar on my cheek I have a lump right above the scar which I didn't expect because I was not aware that the Resylane would migrate to another area besides where it was injected. I had my injection done by a Dermatological Surgeon cost:$300.00

I had restylane and it only lasted 4 days so I am pretty disappointed. As I read through these ratings and it seems it is a 50/50 chance for it to work. I placed a call to my doctor and we shall see if he gives me another free shot. Looked great for the four days though!!!!

FAT TRANSFER, VERY EFFECTIVE, NO DOWN TIME, AFFORDABLE!! I am a male in my 40's with several cystic scars and have tried many treatments over the years including micro and macro-dermabrasions, peels etc.. with little improvement. I finally went to a well known Plastic Surgeon who did 2 fat transfers about 8 months apart. Great results!! Basically, your own fat is used to "plump" up a depressed scar. Since some of the fat is re-absorbed over time, the doctor "over fills" the scar. The injected site is slightly red and puffy but you can return to normal activities when you walk out the door. The only negative side effect was the transfer site (usually from around your belly-button area) was a little sore, bruised for about one week. Took some asprin. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this procedure from an experienced plastic surgeon. Now some two years later, my treated area is still 75% improved and would do over again in a heartbeat. Hope this info helps. PS Cost was about $1800 total.

I had Restylane injections in the "crows feet" around my eyes. I HATE how it looks. Would rather have the fine lines, than the bags, I now have. I will never have anything injected into my face again. I can't wait for it to disolve!

I have some various saucer-shaped scars and I went to see a very prominent plastic surgeon/dermatologist in La Jolla who actually will do Silikon1000 injections. He has an injection technique where it does not migrate or clump. I've gone to him about 5 times and the results are excellent - and permanent. about 450 per treatment. Some of the scars are 90% improved. Anybody else gone to anyone really good in SoCal?
