If you are interested in restoring volume and fullness to your skin, particularly in the facial region, or to
eliminate wrinkles and
folds, one solution is to use a dermal filler like Restylane. It is made of
hyaluronic acid - a
naturally occurring substance in your body. The manufacturer of this filler use NASHA which is completely biocompatible with your body's hyaluronic acid. Jessica
Simpson has openly admitted that she used
Restylane in her lips.

Many plastic surgeons are also using Restylane for
lip augmentation and as an alternative to
collagen
injections. Of course, it is also being used as a substitute for Botox though it does not dumb the area as Botox does.

prevent complications from injectables) So what should you worry about when getting Restylane injections?
According to Dr. Michael Law, patients seeking enhancement with Restylane should ask the following questions:
- How much experience does the surgeon have with
soft tissue augmentation by injection?
- Does the surgeon numb the area prior to injection with Restylane?
- Have other options been discussed?
Fat grafting is a permanent method of filling lines and
enhancing
lips. Individuals requiring more than one syringe of
Restylane for the result they desire may want to explore
fat grafting, a safe and permanent alternative to Restylane.
- Does the physician have patient photos to share with you and patients to speak to about their experience with
Restylane? (Related:
Lip enhancement)
The next
question that you might have may be related to cost and
recovery. Insofar as cost is concerned, there is no
standard answer since so much will depend on your
individual situation but as we pointed out in our table
on cost of cosmetic surgery procedures, you must
clearly think of a few hundred dollars in the United
States. And regarding recovery time, nothing to
worry. The recovery time is minimal and the results
are almost immediate.
