Fixing Blue Tinge Under the Eyes After Restylane?

I had Restylane injected into the upper cheeks and lower eyelids. It looked uneven/bumpy. And now I see a blue tint under the eyes. I ask my doctor if he would go under the muscle with the injections.

I said I read a lot of problems if it's not deep. He said he's the doctor. So now I see the blue tint and uneveness. So now what do I do?

Hi! The bluish tinge is generally due to the Restylane being too superficial (Tyndall effect). Left alone it will take a year to go away. There are a couple of experimental treatments for it, but your best bet is to have small amounts of hyaluronidase injected into the affected area. This will also take care of the bumps. See link below for names of experts near you.
