Restore the Volume of Your Youth

Volume loss has a way of sneaking up on people. It's rarely one dramatic change but rather a slow accumulation of small shifts, cheeks that sit slightly flatter, folds that have deepened just a bit more than last year, until one day the difference between how you feel and what you see in the mirror becomes hard to ignore. Restylane exists to close exactly this gap, and our Chevy Chase office has relied on it for years as a dependable option for restoring what time has gradually taken.

What Is Restylane?

Restylane refers to an entire line of hyaluronic acid fillers, each engineered with a specific consistency and purpose in mind rather than one universal formula for every concern. Because hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces and recognizes, Restylane integrates into tissue smoothly, without the stiff or artificial feel sometimes associated with older filler technologies. Depending on which product within the line your provider selects, Restylane can rebuild structural volume in the cheeks, add subtle enhancement to the lips, or soften persistent folds around the nose and mouth.

The Benefits of Restylane

  • Closes the Gap Between Feeling and Appearance: By restoring lost volume, Restylane helps your reflection better match how youthful and energized you feel.
  • Softens Folds by Addressing Their Cause: Rather than masking deep folds superficially, Restylane fills the underlying volume loss responsible for them.
  • A Formulation for Nearly Every Purpose: The range of products within the Restylane line allows precise matching between filler and treatment area.
  • Genuinely Natural Movement: Patients frequently note how seamlessly Restylane integrates, moving like real tissue rather than sitting rigidly.
  • Flexible Longevity: Depending on the specific product chosen, results can be built to last anywhere from six months to well over a year.

Are You a Candidate for Restylane?

Restylane is a strong option for patients experiencing structural volume loss or deepening facial folds. You may be a good candidate for Restylane in Chevy Chase if:

  • Your cheeks, temples, or under-eye area have started to look hollow or less full
  • Nasolabial folds or other static wrinkles have become more pronounced
  • You're interested in subtle lip enhancement alongside or instead of facial volume restoration
  • You have a clear understanding of how long your specific chosen product is expected to last

During your consultation at our Chevy Chase office, our team will evaluate your facial volume and discuss your specific goals to recommend the right Restylane formulation for you.

Your Results

You'll notice your added volume right away. However, it's normal for treated areas to appear slightly fuller than your true final result until initial swelling resolves over the following few days.

From there, how long your results last comes down largely to which specific Restylane product was used, with some formulations holding steady for around six months and others engineered for more structural support lasting well beyond a year.

"I went to see Doctor Chang for a lip augmentation about a month ago. I have always had a really full bottom lip, but a super thin upper lip with not much definition. Doctor Chang used Juvederm Ultra to make very subtle changes to my upper lip, making it more defined. My cupid's bow is now visible! My lips look SO natural that many people do not even notice unless I tell them, which in my opinion is a good thing! Doctor Chang is amazing; he made the procedure painless and actually enjoyable/fun. Prior to this, I was very nervous to try lip fillers. After meeting with Doctor Chang, I realized I was nervous over nothing! I honestly could not have had a better experience."

"I'm OBSESSED!!!! Obsessed with Dr. Chang, nurse Kelly, all the office staff, but MY OH MY the RESULTS!!! Dr. Chang is a true artist! I've been telling everyone I know about him and his awesome work. You won't find a better surgeon, even in Beverly Hills! He can literally give liquid facelifts with Botox, does perfect contouring with filler, and is very conservative with his approach. You know you are in the best hands with him and his caring staff. Nurse Kelly is always available to answer questions on recovery, and you know she's seen it all, so she will even give you sound advice on the latest and greatest in products and procedures. Let me also say that I am in pharmaceutical sales, I am in and out of every single plastic surgery office all over the DMV, and this is the top practice in the entire area. The office is always busy, with super high standards, only offers the best products, and has the best-in-class surgeons. They are THE best. I would only ever trust these doctors, and Dr. Chang is ‘IT’ for me!”

"Dr. Chang used Voluma to augment my chin. The projection helped to harmonize my face and helped my side profile look even and natural. The filler was painless, the chin was a bit tender for a day or so, but nothing after that. Best investment for my face so far. Dr. Chang was very professional and made the whole appointment very relaxing and fun. Highly recommend!"

"I visited Dr. Chang to have my tear troughs (under eyes) filled. I was super scared of the potential bruising and that everyone would know I had “work done” because of it. Thanks to Dr. Chang’s gentle injections and use of numbing cream that also helped prevent bruising, I had only two little tiny dot bruises that were unnoticeable with makeup. I now look much more rested, and I’m feeling so confident. Dr. Chang started slow with just one syringe of Volbella and two weeks later with a second. This allowed us to see where I needed more after some swelling went down, so as not to overdo it. I’m really happy with the results. I’ve also had Dr. Chang do some mid-cheek sculpting with filler, and he’s done an amazing job keeping it natural but noticeable. It’s been a great experience working with him."

"I had an amazing experience with Dr. Chang! I came to his office wanting to have lip injections. Initially, I was very nervous to have this procedure done because I had a bad experience at a different clinic in the past. However, Dr. Chang was very patient and understanding, and he didn't pressure me to do the procedure if I wasn't ready. I talked with him about my concerns and also about what results I wanted; he was very friendly, personable, and really listened to me. I ended up having 1ml of Juvederm injected into my top and bottom lips combined; the procedure felt very relaxed - Dr. Chang really took his time and made sure my lips looked great and that they were symmetrical (which I appreciated). Afterward, he told me to email him the next day to let him know how I was feeling, which I thought was really kind. It's now been two weeks since having the lip injections, and I really love the results! My lips look very natural, symmetrical, with just the right amount of plumpness. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Chang for any other cosmetic procedures. He and his office staff are great, and I had a wonderful experience!"

"I am so thankful that I found Dr. Chang through Yelp. His ratings were all outstanding, and now I know why. I was immediately greeted by smiling faces and a friendly gentleman at the front desk. After a short wait, I was escorted to my room by a nurse who was absolutely the sweetest! I felt so comfortable, and all of my nervous thoughts (first timer here) just went away. After a couple of minutes, Dr. Chang came in, and we discussed what I wanted. Talk about professional and extremely personable, I cannot imagine a better experience. I'd like to point out that I didn't really have a specific look in mind - my only expectation was that I wanted to look natural, so I left it with Dr. Chang to work his magic. He guided me through my Botox and Juvederm injections and never once left me wondering about the procedure, next steps, or how to care for my new "work". It has been two weeks since I was in the office, and I cannot express my gratitude for Dr. Chang and all of his staff. It's amazing how such a minor procedure can boost your confidence. Even considering another Plastic Surgeon makes me fearful, Dr. Chang is the best of the best.”

"For my first time experiencing Botox, I am extremely happy with it! I thought that Dr. Chang took the time to sit and discuss things with me to ensure I felt comfortable, as well as the fact that he did not push or pressure me into anything at all. The nurse, Kelly, got to know me, and I felt genuinely comfortable in the office. I will definitely be back in a couple of months, and I will also look into other fillers or peels. Thank you!"

"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Chang and his staff. I was nervous about my first time getting Botox, but I immediately felt at ease upon entering the office and being greeted by the receptionist. She even accommodated me showing up on the wrong day for my follow-up appointment with no questions asked. Dr. Chang answered all of my questions and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I am extremely happy with the results of my Botox in my forehead - smooth, but still natural looking. I would highly recommend Dr. Chang to anyone seeking similar services!"

"Dr. Chang removed two moles from my face, and I could not be happier with the experience or the results. I am extremely fair-skinned—small acne marks can last for years—but just a few months out from the procedure, and I have to look closely to find the tiny scars. The front office is well-run and pleasant, and the nurses put everyone at ease. Dr. Chang himself is among the nicest doctors you will ever meet - confident in his perceptions and medical advice, but not the least bit egotistical. I wish I had come in years ago (and I will certainly be back)!"

"I was very nervous to have any kind of filler used on my face. Dr. Chang's office made this experience about as wonderful as it could be. When I emailed to make a consultation appointment, I was met with an immediate reply, which was quickly transferred into a consultation. Upon my visit, I was greeted immediately and waited hardly any time at all. Finally, Dr. Chang's demeanor and attitude while seeing me were absolutely awesome. He treated me very respectfully and had a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed visiting with him during my consultation. So I decided to go ahead and get my lips filled after my consult during the same visit. It was great that they scheduled enough time to do that. So far, my lips are looking amazing, and I could not be more thrilled with the result. I'm hooked. DC is a big, intimidating area... finding professionals you enjoy working with is a big deal... especially for someone from a small town like myself. There are dozens of plastic surgeons in the area... but I am so glad I found Dr. Chang. I'm happy to support his practice and will definitely be referring anyone and everyone who asks to him."

"This is not my first experience with Dr. Chang and certainly not my last. I wouldn't want anyone else to touch my lips. Dr. Chang has an impeccable eye for achieving the perfect aesthetic look. He takes into consideration my goals for the procedure and treats me with professionalism and respect. Dr. Chang used 2 syringes of Volbella. I experienced less swelling with this product compared to products I've used in the past. The product looks smooth and natural on my lips. I experienced minimal to no bruising and went to dinner the same day I had the procedure done. Dr. Chang's technique is almost painless; I only experienced some mild discomfort. I couldn't be happier with the end result. I love the way my lips look, and I love Dr. Chang."

She patiently answered all my questions. She offered excellent solutions and more than anything - I felt almost nothing — wait for it — getting lip filler. We did Botox on frontalis, globella, dao, lip flip, and crows feet. She had a very gentle hand. I’m super happy with the results and so glad to see a woman surgeon killing it here at Congressional Plastic Surgery!"

Restylane Frequently Asked Questions

Is Restylane better for certain skin types than other fillers?

Restylane's range of formulations makes it adaptable across most skin types. However, your provider will assess your specific skin and goals to determine whether Restylane or an alternative filler line is the better fit.

Can Restylane be used to correct under-eye hollows specifically?

Yes, certain Restylane formulations are designed with particularly delicate, thin-skinned areas like the under-eyes in mind, offering a lighter, more precise option for that region.

How does a provider decide which specific Restylane product to use?

This depends on the treatment area and your desired outcome. Thicker formulations are often used for structural support in areas like the cheeks, while lighter formulations suit more delicate areas like the lips or under-eyes.

Will Restylane results look different immediately after treatment versus a week later?

Yes, some initial swelling is normal and can make results look slightly more pronounced at first, with the truer, settled appearance emerging over the following several days.

Is there a risk of Restylane migrating from where it was injected?

When placed correctly by an experienced injector, Restylane is designed to stay largely where it's placed, though using an appropriately qualified provider significantly reduces migration risk.

Can I switch between Restylane and other filler brands for future treatments?

Yes, there's no requirement to stick with one specific brand. Your provider can recommend whichever product best suits your goals at each appointment.
