Bruising is NOT inevitable after Restylane

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Is bruising unavoidable after Restylane injections?

Does everyone get bruises after Restylane? If so, how long does the bruises and swelling last? I will be going on a trip four days after getting my Restylane. Is it safe? Thanks

If you stop aspirin, Motrin, Advil and Vit E  for 10 days before the injection of Restylane, you most likely won't have bruising.  It is possible but most patients don't have bruising.
