I had restalyne injected in my tear troughs 2 1/2 months ago and I've developed chronic inflammation issues. The pain is not so bad as the neurological symptoms including depression and inability to concentrate. Prednisone has helped in the past, but is less effective at the low dose recommended by my PCP (10 mg) and I don't tolerate high dosages well. The doctor who did the restalyne is reluctant to use wydase fearing another bad reaction. What is the best treatment for this complication??
If you feel the Restylane is causing your problems then I suggest you dissolve it with the enzyme hyaluronidase (Wydase). Once it is dissolved then you can be sure if your symptoms remain that there is something else also going on. It is possible that you have 2 or 3 problems, not just the Restylane. Hopefully it will all resolve with the Wydase.
I Got Restylane Under my Eyes but Want More, How Long Should I Wait Before I Get More?
Restylane works great to fill in the tear trough and hollows under the eyes. If you feel you need more I would wait about 2 weeks. This gives time for any swelling to settle down and any bruising to go away. At 2 weeks you should be optimized to see if indeed you do need more filler.
A week ago I had Botox in the area between my eyebrows (anger lines) and crow's feet. Just today I went back for Restylane, and had the injections placed under my eyes (for the first time ever) and around my smile lines. Just a few hours after the procedure, I came home and noticed bruising. I hear this is pretty typical of Restylane, but now when I smile big, you can see a huge vein bulging from right between my eyes up to my hair line. Is this part of my bruising and will it heal? Please help!
There is a vein that runs at the junction of the nose and the orbicularis oculi muscle surrounding the eye. If the filler is placed close enough, the vein may become compressed and not drain as well as usual, creating the bulging that you describe. This is not part of the bruising. A bruise does not get larger or smaller with smiling.
I recommend returning to your injecting physician for a re-evaluation. You may need a small amount of hyaluronidase injected in the area to lessen the amount of filler and to decrease the vein compression.
