Rediscover Your Natural Beauty with Restylane at Rao Plastic Surgery

Dr. Arun Rao, our board-certified plastic surgeon, offers a wide array of filler treatments that effectively combat the signs of aging in the face, including lines, wrinkles, and lost volume. Among these treatments, Restylane stands out as one of the most sought-after brands of dermal filler injections. Restylane’s popularity is attributed to its ability to address multiple concerns with various formulas, delivering seamless and long-lasting results. Each formula comprises a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. This unique composition imparts a natural, softer appearance to the skin, enhancing its suppleness and fullness. With a customized treatment plan, Restylane can address mild to severe facial lines and wrinkles, as well as add volume to the lips and mid-face. Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery proudly offers several Restylane dermal fillers, including:

Restylane: Ideal for filling in facial wrinkles and folds

Restylane Defyne: Effectively corrects moderate to deep smile and laugh lines

Restylane Lyft: Adds volume and lift to the cheeks

Restylane Refyne: Perfect for filling in fine to moderate smile and laugh lines

Restylane Silk: Builds volume in the lips and smooths vertical lip lines

Restylane Kysse: Specifically designed to give you fuller more natural looking lips.

Who Is A Candidate For Restylane?

Restylane injectable treatments are suitable for both women and men aged 21 and above, seeking to rejuvenate their appearance. With various formulas designed for different outcomes, your procedure will be tailored to meet your individual needs and concerns. Restylane can effectively address visible signs of aging, including fine facial lines or enhance the volume in your lips and cheeks. This versatile filler is also capable of treating moderate to severe wrinkles such as laugh lines, frown lines, Crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more. Several Restylane formulas contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during the procedure. To avoid potential allergic reactions, please disclose any known allergies during your consultation with Dr. Rao.

Benefits of Restylane

As we age, our skin can lose its vibrancy, appearing dull, lifeless, and flat. Restylane injections at Rao Plastic Surgery offer a multitude of benefits through various treatment options, including:

Utilization of natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which the body naturally produces.

Restoration of smooth and refined skin texture.

Flexibility in injection locations, including the hands, neck, and face.

A boost in your confidence, empowering you from within.

Recovery After Restylane Injections

Upon the completion of your Restylane treatment, you can immediately resume your daily activities. The duration of your recovery will depend on the specific treatment being performed, so it is advisable to consult with your injector regarding what to expect. Injection sites may appear slightly red and swollen, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Bruising may also occur, but it can often be concealed with makeup. For 1 – 2 days, strenuous activities like exercise should be avoided, and for at least the first night following your treatment, it is recommended that you sleep in an upright position. While some improvements may be visible immediately following the injections, it generally takes 1 – 2 weeks to see the final results. Restylane injection treatments typically last around a year, depending on the specific product used.

What To Expect During Restylane Injections

Restylane dermal injections are performed within the comfortable confines of our treatment room at Rao Plastic Surgery. To enhance patient comfort, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The filler is then gently injected into the skin using a fine needle and massaged to fill the required areas. Multiple injections may be necessary, followed by the application of a cold, gentle compress to alleviate swelling. Although each Restylane formula is administered using a similar technique, they target different areas of the face to cater to your specific needs and objectives
