›› Restylane Side Effects
I became interested in Restylane
to fix a problem of hollowness across my cheeks. I am not a bad looking
woman-- I think i have a pretty good facial structure with the normal
sprinkling of flaws here and there. Overall, I like my face. The only
things are those dark shadows in the hollows of my cheeks that distract
quite a bit from my appearance. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a
nice painting-- a nice painting with smears across its surface. I
wanted those smears gone.
I made an appointment with a dermatologist for my
first Restylane treatment. After my bad experience with mesotherapy, I
decided to do my homework and thoroughly research about Restylane. this
time I am going in with my eyes and ears wide open supported by facts
and not merely by hear say or word of mouth.
I looked up my information on the internet: Many
people practice restylane injections-- nurses, physician assistants,
general practitioners, gynecologists, even dentists. Apparently, there
are not very stingent requirements for one to administer or inject
restylane. So I wanted to plan this very safely by deciding that I
would make an appointment with either a dermatologist who knows about
facial structure and skin, or a cosmetic surgeon.
I went with a dermatologist who has a fairly decent
practice and has a good amount of experience injecting restylane.
Lesson #1: Pick a doctor who has a good reputation.
They have so much to lose if they screw up, so chances are, they will
not screw up. Remember, this is YOUR FACE.
When a doctor looks at your face, he has his own
perspective of how your face should look like. This is fine when
coupled with the fact that, assuming he has done the restylane
injections many times before, he has the expertise of knowing where to
inject and where the restylane is going from the injection site.
The other parts of the story is how you see your
face and how you want it to look like. You must communicate very
clearly to your doctor which areas you want the restylane to affect.
This communication is key. Most of the time, you and your doctor will
agree. Sometimes, however, you will find that you and your doctor don't
exactly see on the same level. Remember, beauty is in the eyes of the
beholder. What looks good to your doctor may not necessarily be what
you want. Ultimately, it is how you want your face to look like and
what will make you happy.
