Dr. Fechner Uses Restylane for Whole-Face Enhancements
Good candidates for Restylane injections are both, men and women of all ages and skin types. Dr. Fechner feels that the goals for every injectable filler treatment include a soft, natural facial volume without unbalanced grooves, folds or wrinkles. Before any Restylane injection, Dr. Fechner will examine your face in a private treatment room. Using a mirror, he will learn about your concerns, explain his findings and discuss with you options for treatment. The Restylane injection treatment with Dr. Fechner normally takes 10 to 30 minutes.
As an expert in filler face contouring, Dr. Fechner will place the injectable Restylane beneath the top layer of skin using a thin blunt cannula. The meticulous technique will allow Dr. Frank Fechner to provide such a treatment with minimal discomfort or pain. Although Restylane injections are not considered painful, patients may note minor discomfort with pinching, pressure or stinging sensation. For best patient comfort, Dr. Fechner will use strategic nerve blocks for the lips to make this otherwise more uncomfortable treatment painless.
There is no downtime required after your Restylane injection and you can resume work, school and social activities the same day. You may experience mild side effects including puffiness and potentially minor bruising. Makeup can be used to camouflage any imperfections. Some patients may prefer to wait for their skin discoloration to have dissipated (one to three days) before returning to the workplace. Dr. Fechner recommends skipping strenuous exercise for 12 hours after the injection of Restylane. In addition, you do not want to engage in pressure massage to the treated facial area for 3 days.
