Plastic Surgeons in Toledo Ohio - Restylane Injections

Restylane® is fast becoming a popular choice as an injectable filler for treating facial wrinkles, as well as for plumping up lips. Because it is water-soluble, it fills wrinkles and depressions in the skin with a natural substance while slowly being reabsorbed by the body.

Restylane Procedure Information

Restylane is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance present in the human body called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle and safe to your skin.

Restylane is very effective for diminishing wrinkles around the corners of the mouth, the lips, the nasolabial folds (commonly referred to as “parentheses”), and the frown lines (between the eyebrows). Results will last from 6 to 12 months.

Restylane is also an excellent temporary filler for lip augmentation. Experience shows that Restylane is effective for up to six months when injected in the lips. Because the effects of Restylane are not permanent, you have the option to discontinue use if your tastes or fashion trends change.

Dr. Kelly will discuss your options with you for dealing with wrinkles and/or lip augmentation. He will help you understand the pros and cons of each wrinkle treatment, enabling you to make your own decision about wrinkle treatment.

Additional Cosmetic Procedures

Procedures that may enhance the results of Restylane include Brow Lift, Eyelid Lift, Facelift, or Botox®.

The specific risks and the suitability of Restylane can be determined only at the time of your consultation with Monroe plastic surgeon Dr. Kelly. All procedures have some degree of risk, but major complications are rare.
