What Is Restylane?

Restylane is a family of dermal fillers formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps the skin stay hydrated and plump. Over time, natural hyaluronic acid levels diminish, leading to wrinkles, folds, and volume loss. Restylane replenishes this support by adding subtle volume and smoothing lines, helping patients achieve a refreshed and youthful look.
This filler is FDA-approved, versatile, and widely trusted, making it a popular choice for facial rejuvenation. With multiple formulations available, Restylane can be tailored to treat delicate areas like the under-eyes as well as more robust areas such as the cheeks and jawline.

What Can Restylane Treat?

Restylane is designed to target a wide range of cosmetic concerns. Common treatment areas include:

  • Tear troughs and under-eye hollows
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines around the mouth
  • Lip enhancement and definition
  • Cheek and midface volume restoration
  • Chin and jawline contouring
  • Fine lines around the lips and mouth

I would give Dr. Iyengar 10 stars if I could!

I just recently had a skin lesion removed from my lower eye lid. The procedure was cosmetic and something I wanted to do for years, but was terrified to go through with. I had made it out to be much scary than it actually was. I came into the office incredibly nervous and the staff was so kind and patient with me. Dr. Iyengar did the most incredible job making sure I stayed comfortable through the very quick procedure and was so precise with his work. He kept every single lash in place and the area has heeled beautifully and way quicker than I could have imagined! I am SO HAPPY I went to him for this and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for an eyelid specialist! He definitely knows what he’s doing!!!

I went from feeling like I looked tired and angry all the time…to vibrant and awake!

I went from feeling like I looked tired and angry all the time…to vibrant and awake! The whole experience was worth it! The surgery was fast and painless, recovery was smooth, and the results are terrific! I have three words for those who hate their eyes like I did…make an appointment! Thank you Dr. Iyengar!

I highly recommend Dr. Iyengar for any eyelid procedure you want or need to have done.

B.B.

I highly recommend Dr. Iyengar for any eyelid procedure you want or need to have done. I had bags and circles under my eyes for many, many years that always bothered me. Initially, I went to a dermatologist to see if a laser procedure would help, but he said it was a surgical issue and referred me to Dr. Iyengar. Upper eyelid and scarless lower eyelid procedures were recommended, and I went ahead with both. The results are incredible!! No more bags or circles under my eyes, and the extra skin on my upper eyelids is gone. I am thrilled with the results!! The entire experience was great from beginning to end, including the office visits, his staff is awesome, too! To the procedures, done right there at the surgery center in the same building, to the aftercare. Everything has been smooth, organized, and very professional. No pain from beginning to end either! I shouldn’t have waited until my 60’s to have it done, but I am glad I finally did!

I saw Dr. Iyengar for ptosis correction, and I am so happy with the results!

I saw Dr. Iyengar for ptosis correction, and I am so happy with the results! He’s an excellent surgeon, and just as importantly, he’s understanding and patient and really takes time to listen and answer questions. Highly recommend!

The procedure was done very quickly and efficiently. Dr. Iyengar has a magic touch.

Dr. Iyengar did my upper eyelid surgery one week ago. I was a little nervous to have the surgery since it was on my eyes, but after meeting with Dr. Iyengar and his staff, I was confident enough to schedule the surgery. I am beyond thrilled with the results already, and they are still a little swollen and bruised. Such a difference. The procedure was done very quickly and efficiently. Dr. Iyengar has a magic touch. I’m so happy I went with San Diego Eyelid Specialists. The office staff is great, too. I highly recommend them.

I have been a faithful fan of BOTOX for at least ten years, and when he does my BOTOX, it’s perfect.

A.B.

I work at a surgery center in Encinitas that Dr. Iyengar does surgery at. First off, every nurse I work with raves about his technique in the OR. He is not just a good eye surgeon, he is gifted. I’m talking blow-your-mind skills when it comes to eyelid surgery. I actually go to him for my BOTOX injections now. I have been a faithful fan of BOTOX for at least ten years, and when he does my BOTOX, it’s perfect. Never too much, just right! I am definitely planning on going to him in the next year for eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty. I referred a friend to him, and she couldn’t be happier. I’m not big on referring surgeons because it’s a very personal choice, but I do recommend him to everyone who has any eye issue, not just surgery.

I am so glad I did this, and most of all, I am happy that I chose Dr. Iyengar.

L.M.

As a medical doctor myself, I understand that not all doctors are alike. For years, I wanted to get my “heavy” upper eyelids done, as with age they only get worse. The main concern I had was not looking like I had my eyes done. I only wanted to have them look normal. It wasn’t until I saw a friend who looked different (better), but I didn’t know why. She told me that she had her upper eyelids done. I knew then that this was the doctor. I checked out Dr. Iyengar’s other work and his credentials. Everything I saw was top-tier. I had my eyes done in his Encinitas office in July 2020, and it went better than I thought. The doctor was great and reassuring, and his staff were all friendly and helpful. It was overall a very easy experience. After a few weeks, my eyes were looking near “normal,” just as I wanted. It’s almost 2 months now, and I couldn’t be happier. I have now had a few people ask me what’s different, and said, “why do you look younger”. I smiled (and told them). I am SO glad I did this, and most of all, I am happy that I chose Dr. Iyengar.

We could not be more pleased with the experience and results.

S.D.

As a fellow eye surgeon, I am particular about who I send my family to. Having researched many surgeons in California, I had my parents come down from Los Angeles to have eyelid surgery with Dr. Iyengar. We could not be more pleased with the experience and results. He strives for a natural appearance when doing cosmetic eyelid surgery. Something we greatly appreciate. We would highly recommend Dr. Iyengar!

Great staff made everything work seamlessly.

J.F.

His entire staff were very professional and caring. Surgery went well, and the outcome was perfect.

S.S.

Dr. Iyengar was able to see her very quickly and assured us that he was familiar with this and not to worry. Everything was explained in advance, and he and his entire staff were very professional and caring. Surgery went well, and the outcome was perfect.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Iyengar will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, listen to your concerns, and discuss your desired results. He will explain how Restylane can address your unique needs and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to you. This session also allows you to explore other non-surgical and surgical options if appropriate, ensuring your plan is comprehensive and personalized.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Restylane injections are performed in-office and typically take less than an hour. A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort, and Dr. Iyengar uses advanced techniques—including blunt cannula delivery for delicate areas like the tear troughs—to ensure both safety and precision.

The injections are placed strategically to restore smoothness, volume, and balance. Results are noticeable immediately, and patients usually return to daily activities the same day.

Recovering After Restylane Treatment

Recovery from Restylane is minimal, though some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.

Patients should avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and prolonged sun exposure for 24 hours following treatment. Results last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, product used, and individual metabolism.
