"It will be a boon for the patient who says, 'I have a wedding in two weeks,'" says Dr. Rhoda S. Narins, a New York dermatologic surgeon who conducted some of the tests of Restylane.

The Mary we see here shows glimpses of her self-effacing but strong self, yet at other times, incongruously, seems to have become a helpless uptown lady-who-lunches and slips into self-help-speak like...
