Restylane and Other Facial Filler Injections

Recently approved by the FDA for use in the United States, Restylane treatments have found their way to Miami. Restylane has been used by over 3 million people in over 70 countries through out the world. In the greater Miami area, Aventura Cosmetic Surgery Center offers Restylane treatments to plump lips, and to add volume to the tissues beneath the surface of the skin decreasing wrinkles, deep lines and furrows, especially in the nasal lip folds.

Like a beautifully ripe peach, your skin is held firm by the volume and plumpness of the tissues beneath the skin's surface. When the structures beneath your skin lose firmness and begin to collapse, your skin wrinkles and furrows. To restore the face to its youthful ripeness, the tissues beneath the skin need to be revitalized. Restylane adds volume to your facial structure so your skin can un-furrow and unfold to lie taut and smooth.

Using very fine needles and local and topical anesthesia, Restylane is injected directly under the skin. Restylane is a gel composed from hyaluronic acid. Absolutely biocompatible, hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the human body so there is no need for an allergy test before using Restylane. Because results are instantaneous, Dr. Ellenby can monitor the amount of Restylane necessary to create naturally beautiful volume. Treatment lasts between 6 months to a year as the body absorbs the biodegradable gel. Touch ups are provided at NO COST for the first few weeks.

A good candidate for Restylane treatment is anyone who wants to decrease wrinkles and furrows or someone who wants to enhance and plump their lips. People who use Restylane should not be nursing or pregnant.

There are very few risks involved in Restylane treatments. In rare cases there might be swelling or bruising at the injection site that will diminish in a few days.

Other filler injections such as Perlane, Sculptra, and Radiesse are also available. Dr. Ellenby will discuss the features of all injectable fillers.
