Restylane

Restylane is a facial filler injectable made from NASHA or non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid. The filler doesn’t involve any animal products and is available in gel form. Hyaluronic acid is the main component in Restylane. This substance is found naturally in the human skin and tissue. Ergo, there is no need to undergo an allergy test prior to the non-surgical injection procedure.

Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides Restylane cosmetic filler injections to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding communities.

Restylane Facial Filler Advantages

Hyaluronic acid is responsible for providing youthfulness and firmness to the skin. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin suppleness. However, the acid tends to get depleted over time as a result of aging and other factors. Your facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon will recommend Restylane injection to revitalize your skin and restore volume loss in the face.

The substance is biodegradable. This means that it will gradually disintegrate and combine with your skin tissue. A single Restylane injection can offer results lasting up to 6 to 12 months. You will notice visible changes in your scars, wrinkles, folds, and other minor impressions.

Common benefits of Restylane include:

Reducing facial wrinkles
Mitigating nasolabial folds
Adding volume to cheek hollows
Enhancing the chin
Reducing acne scars
Filling depressions and imperfections under your eyes
Softening jowl impact
Defining lips
Adding volume to lips
Lifting eyebrows
Minimizing smile lines, worry lines, crow’s feet, and marionette lines

Eye Rejuvenation Using Restylane

Under-eye hollows and dark circles can make you look older than you are. Many people are troubled by these obvious signs of aging. Restylane is an FDA approved dermal filler to address these skin imperfections among other signs of aging. The dermal filler can go a long way in restoring a youthful appearance and giving your face a more refreshed look. The best part is that these benefits can be achieved without going through the rigors of cosmetic surgery.

The filler is useful in improving dark circles since it can be molded into any shape. Your treatment provider will insert Restylane along your orbital rim for this purpose. You may notice bumps and lumps appearing under the skin after the treatment. Your facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon will remove these. Restylane has a unique viscosity which makes it the preferred choice for under-eye skin treatment.

Lip Enhancement Using Restylane

Lines around the mouth and thinning lips are a sure sign of aging. Your lips may start to lose their shape and definition as well due to aging or other several factors. Restylane dermal filler can help you attain a rejuvenated and refreshed face by augmenting your lips to fit your desired goals. The injectable can also be used for decreasing the vertical line above your lip area.

Restylane Silk is the only FDA approved substance currently available for mild lip enhancement. The filler can easily smooth wrinkles and lines around the mouth while creating a more desirable shape.

Lip Enhancement

Many women dream of having sensual lips for that beautiful pout. Fuller lips can help enhance your facial beauty. Fortunately, you can achieve all your aesthetic goals in a sustainable manner with lip augmentation cosmetic surgery. There are also options for women that don’t want to undergo a surgery. Your facial plastic surgeon may recommend a treatment consisting of dermal fillers for plumper and more defined lips.

However, dermal fillers provide results for a short period of time while lip augmentation surgeries are permanent. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides surgical lip enhancement plastic surgery to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding communities.

Ideal Candidate

Lip enhancement works well for anybody from any age group. However, the surgery is recommended for people that have naturally thin lips or suffer from loss of volume because of aging and other related factors. Candidates should be in good health before getting a lip augmentation surgery to ensure quick recovery. You should also have realistic expectations to begin with.

Augmentation with Lip Implant

You can achieve permanent lip augmentation with an implant. There are a wide variety of synthetic lip implants available. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend one that is most appropriate to your goals and needs. Lip implants are designed to improve the shape and volume of lips. The surgery can be completed in about an hour when performed by an experienced facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

Your surgeon will make tiny incisions on your lips, usually at the mouth corners. This allows the incisions to remain discreet. A thin tunnel will be carved out through these incisions to make space for the implant. Once the implants are inserted the surgeon will thread it properly through the lip. If required, the implant will be trimmed precisely and the incisions closed.

Fat Transfer Lip Augmentation

Another way of getting your desired lip shape and volume is by getting a lip augmentation with fat transfer surgery. This is usually recommended for patients where implants are not suitable. The procedure involves removing excess fat from another area on the patient and filling the lips with that fat. You will get soft and natural looking results with this technique.

The procedure is less invasive as opposed to implants and the biggest advantage is that your body is less likely to develop an allergen reaction because the fat tissue belongs to you. Your surgeon will remove excess fat from another donor site, such as the abdomen or thigh. This fat will then be injected using a blunt needle into the lips. The injection will leave very tiny prick marks on your lips.

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia as opposed to general anesthesia. However, in some cases, surgeons administer light general anesthesia. An added advantage of this procedure is that excess fat is removed from another site on your body, making you look thinner.
