Restylane® Contour in Dallas & Irving

INTRODUCTION TO RESTYLANE® CONTOUR

What Is Restylane® Contour?

Restylane® Contour is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler from Galderma, offered at the Dermatology Office of Dr. Ellen Turner in Dallas and Irving. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your skin makes naturally to keep it hydrated, full, and elastic, and those levels decline with age, which is when the cheeks and midface begin to flatten and lose definition.

Restylane® Contour replaces that lost volume to restore cheek definition and correct midface contour deficiencies, all without surgery. What sets it apart is XpresHAn Technology™, a flexible gel that integrates into the skin and moves naturally with your expressions, so your face still looks and feels like you when you smile, laugh, or talk.

Because it is designed for dynamic, natural-looking contouring rather than heavy volume alone, our providers use Restylane® Contour for patients who want refined cheek definition without an overdone appearance.

Restylane® Contour is Galderma’s first and only cheek filler in the U.S. formulated with XpresHAn Technology™. It is indicated for cheek augmentation and correction of midface contour deficiencies in patients over the age of 21.

Because it is hyaluronic acid, it can be dissolved if ever needed. Approved for adults over the age of 21. Cheek Augmentation DEFINITION & LIFT Restores fullness and definition to flat or deflated cheeks, giving the midface a lifted, refreshed look. ◉ Up to 18 months Midface Contour SHAPE & BALANCE Corrects contour deficiencies and volume differences in the midface to bring the face back into natural balance. ◉ Cheek & midface Dynamic Expression NATURAL MOVEMENT Its XpresHAn™ gel integrates into tissue and flexes with your expressions, so results move naturally rather than sitting stiffly. ◉ XpresHAn Technology™ Age-Related Volume Loss MIDFACE RESTORATION Replaces cheek and midface volume lost to aging, weight change, or sun exposure, a common driver of a tired appearance. ◉ FDA-approved area [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] [vc_row override_padding="yes" h_padding="4" top_padding="5" bottom_padding="5" overlay_alpha="50" gutter_size="3" column_width_percent="100" shift_y="0" z_index="0" css=".vc_custom_rl_contour_journey{background-color:#ffffff !important;}"][vc_column gutter_size="3" overlay_alpha="50" shift_x="0" shift_y="0" shift_y_down="0" z_index="0" medium_width="0" mobile_width="0" width="1/1"][vc_column_text] TREATMENT JOURNEY What to Expect at Your Restylane® Contour Appointment Our team performs every Restylane® Contour treatment as a straightforward in-office procedure at our Dallas and Irving locations.

Cost depends on how many syringes are needed to reach your goals, which varies from person to person. Because Restylane® Contour is a cosmetic treatment, it is not covered by insurance. Our team will review pricing with you during your consultation, along with any current offers. How long does Restylane® Contour last? Restylane® Contour has been shown to maintain its effect for up to 12 months when treating the cheeks and midface, and up to 18 months when treating the temples. Duration varies from person to person based on metabolism, age, and lifestyle. How is Restylane® Contour different from Restylane® Lyft? Both add volume to the cheeks, but they behave differently. Contour uses a softer, more flexible XpresHAn™ gel that bends and moves with your expressions for a natural look, while Lyft is a firmer gel that provides stronger structural lift. Our providers choose between them based on your anatomy and goals. How many syringes will I need? It varies by individual. In clinical studies, patients received roughly 1 mL to 2 mL of Restylane® Contour per cheek. Your provider will determine the right amount for your face during your consultation. Does the treatment hurt? Most people feel only minor discomfort. Restylane® Contour contains lidocaine to numb the area as it is injected, and a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand for added comfort. Is there any downtime? Very little. You may have mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site for a few days, but most patients return to their normal activities right away. When will I see results, and how long does the appointment take? Results are visible almost immediately, with the full look settling over the following weeks as any mild swelling fades. Most appointments are completed in under one hour. Can Restylane® Contour be reversed? Yes. Because it is hyaluronic acid-based, it can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This reversibility is one of the key advantages of HA fillers. Who should not get Restylane® Contour? It is intended for adults over 21. It is not recommended for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have bleeding disorders or are taking blood thinners, or have severe allergies, particularly to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins. Your provider will confirm whether it is right for you during your consultation. What are the possible side effects? The most common are temporary reactions at the injection site: bruising, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, and itching. These typically resolve on their own. Our team will review all risks with you before treatment. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
