Restylane® is a popular dermal filler designed to restore lost facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance natural facial contours. As the skin ages, it gradually loses hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance that helps keep skin hydrated and plump. Restylane replaces this lost volume, helping soften facial folds and create a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery.
At Jaibaji Plastic Surgery, injectable treatments are carefully planned to complement each patient’s natural features. Dr. Moneer Jaibaji has advanced training in facial aesthetics and reconstructive surgery, allowing him to evaluate facial balance and recommend non-surgical treatments that achieve subtle, refined improvements. Patients throughout Coronado and San Diego trust his thoughtful approach to facial rejuvenation and personalized care.
What Is Restylane?
Restylane is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and plays an important role in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. Because it closely resembles the body’s own hyaluronic acid and contains no animal-derived proteins, Restylane is considered highly biocompatible and carries a very low risk of allergic reaction.
Restylane can be used to address several common signs of facial aging, including:
- Early signs of facial aging
- Loss of volume around the eyes and cheeks
- Facial folds around the nose and mouth
- Thin or uneven lips
- Mild facial scars
By restoring volume beneath the skin, Restylane can significantly soften wrinkles and folds, with studies showing improvements of up to 80 percent in treated areas.
Who Is a Candidate for Restylane?
Restylane may be a good option for individuals who want to improve facial wrinkles or volume loss without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates are generally healthy adults who want natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
Good candidates for Restylane typically:
- Are in good overall health
- Have mild to moderate facial wrinkles or folds
- Want to restore facial volume or enhance lip shape
- Have realistic expectations for their results
During a consultation, Dr. Jaibaji will carefully evaluate your skin, facial structure, and aesthetic goals to determine whether Restylane is the most appropriate treatment option.

The Restylane Treatment Process
One of the key advantages of Restylane is that treatments are quick and convenient. Most patients are able to complete their appointment in less than an hour.
Before treatment begins, the skin is cleansed with an antiseptic solution to help prevent infection. Dr. Jaibaji then carefully identifies the treatment areas and determines the appropriate amount of filler needed.
Using a fine needle, Restylane is gently injected into the targeted areas. Following injection, the treatment areas may be lightly massaged to ensure even distribution of the filler. An ice pack may also be applied to help minimize swelling.
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, many patients find the treatment comfortable and easy to fit into their daily schedules.
Recovery After Restylane Injections
Restylane requires little to no downtime, allowing most patients to return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.
After injections, patients may experience temporary effects such as:
- Mild swelling
- Slight redness at the injection sites
- Sensitivity in the treated areas
These effects typically resolve within a day or two. Patients are usually advised to avoid excessive sun exposure and strenuous activity immediately after treatment to help support optimal healing.
Results are visible immediately after treatment and can last up to one year depending on the treatment area and individual factors. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help maintain the desired appearance.
In many cases, Restylane can also be combined with other facial treatments to enhance overall results.
Safety and Considerations
As with any cosmetic treatment, there are potential side effects associated with Restylane. Although complications are uncommon, possible side effects may include:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Redness or swelling
- Pain at the injection sites
These risks will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
