Can Restylane Injections Be a Replacement For Surgery Procedures?

By Dr. JR. Wright


No. The answer is a very emphatic no. Restylane cannot replace surgical procedures but it can be used in conjunction with surgery to fill out the wrinkles that cannot be removed by surgery.

Various surgery procedures such as lifts will typically generally rejuvenate and tighten loose skin. Restylane and Botox are derma fillers. These type of derma fillers will fill in areas of the skin to give your a younger more appealing look.

If you have a plastic surgery procedure such as a face lift to remove wrinkles and excess skin, you will have a recovery period and you will have to go through some pain. Unlike face lifts and other cosmetic procedures, restylane injections are not painful nor is their a long recovery period. This is why the popularity of derma fillers have exploded.

Various surgery procedures and restylane injections can be used in conjunction with one another, but do not replace each other. It is very possible that having various combinations of surgery procedures and dermal fillers may give you the type of results you have been looking for. However the results you receive are based off of your age and or body structure and various other factors.

It is common place that some folks just do not believe in the power of derma fillers. Although some people can not have restylane injections performed because of their skin sensitivity. Restylane will not typically produce any type of severe effect to the skin, but folks with sensitive skin may still opt for a face lift.

Restylane injections is where hyaluronic acid gel are injected into the part of the body which the patient would like to restore. This gel is very similar to the hyaluronic acid we have in our body. The gel will become attached to the part of the body which we would like to have smoother skin and less wrinkles.

Surgery procedures however, consist of recovery periods, incisions, stiches and possible hospitalization. This is why people will opt for restylane or other derma fillers instead of a face lift.
