Restylane under the eyes

Steven H. Williams, MD answers: How should I deal with bumps and bruises after Restylane?

I had a Facial Plastic Surgeon inject this filler under my eyes on September 5th, and they've caused certain bumps and bruises. I've had to hide since, wondering how to deal with them. Should I massage them to even them out? I'm very desperate. It was a very expensive treat for myself after 2 years of tragedy and illness, and I did this in anticipation of an event abroad that I've been working towards for 10 years. I am desperate beyond words. Please help me out.

Restylane under the eyes can leave bumps which typically are small collections of Restylane secondary to the very thin nature of the under eye skin.

Bruising typically will resolve on its own. The bumps may not. Your treating physician can treat these with Hyaluronidase. However you may still have some unevenness that only time will fix.

I hope this helps.
