Prevent Face Droops and Downwards Shifts With Restylane Contour
As we age, our facial skin begins to lose its elasticity and volume. As a result, the face droops and shifts downwards, and our facial features may become hollow. Restylane Contour is a hyaluronic acid filler that was specifically designed to combat this.
This versatile treatment is FDA-approved for multiple areas, including the midface, where it corrects volume loss and enhances cheek definition, and the temples, helping to reduce hollowing for a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
What is Restylane Contour?
Restylane Contour is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to restore natural-looking volume and enhance facial contours with flexibility and movement. Using an advanced formulation, it adapts to your expressions for smooth, balanced results that don’t feel stiff or frozen.
Benefits of Restylane Contour include:
- FDA-approved to restore volume to the midface area
- FDA-approved to correct hollowing in the temple area
- Enhances facial contours with flexibility and movement
- Diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds
With long-lasting facial flexibility and contouring benefits, Restylane Contour delivers beautifully natural results tailored to your unique facial structure.
How Do Hyaluronic Acid Fillers like Restylane Contour Work?
Injectable fillers like Restylane Contour are made from a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). Your skin actually depends on HA to maintain its elasticity and flexibility, as well as to stay hydrated. As we age, our skin begins to produce less and less HA, causing skin to lose its elasticity and create deep folds, wrinkles, and hollow pockets.
Restylane Contour is injected beneath the skin’s surface to correct volume loss and smooth out lines and wrinkles. This innovative filler also uses XpresHAn Technology, which is clinically proven to maintain movement and facial expressions. It creates a natural contour without limiting cheek mobility and flexibility, so your expressions remain natural and full.
Because hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, it’s perfectly safe to use even if you’re nursing or pregnant. So long as you are over the age of 21 and seek to correct volume loss in the cheeks or temples, anyone is a candidate for Restylane Contour injectable fillers.

The entire injection process is quite straightforward and fast. Before your injections, Dr. Lacombe or one of our other trained clinicians will provide local anesthesia to ease discomfort. It will take some time for the anesthetic to kick in, but afterwards you should feel minimal to no pain. Your provider will then ease the dermal filler under your skin to smooth out any targeted wrinkles and folds, instantly increasing volume. Following your injection, your provider may massage the treated areas to evenly distribute the dermal filler and minimize any bruising or swelling. The whole procedure should take no more than 15-30 minutes, depending on the size and scope of the areas to be treated.
If you do feel any discomfort or anxiety before or during your treatment, you can always ask your provider about PRO-NOX.
Recovery after your injection treatment
After your treatment ends, you can return to your daily routine with minimal recovery and very little downtime. Some patients experience swelling, bruising and redness at the injection site(s), but this should dissipate within a few days. If you experience any discomfort, apply an ice pack to the treated areas.
Because Restylane Contour is an injectable filler and not a neurotoxin like BOTOX, results are immediate and long-lasting. Typically, results last up to 12 months with optimal treatment, although results vary from patient to patient.
