Dark Circle Under One Eye From Restylane. How Long Will it Stay? (photo)
I had restylane injected under eyes in February 2012. I had significant bruising under one eye. Under the same eye, I now have a deep circle that looks almost as if I haven't slept in 6 years. :) It's awful, much worse than before. The doctor said it was a bruise and that it would go away. It's now been almost 3 months and it's still there. I suspect it's the Tyndall Effect. How long could it last? Does it go away on it's own? I welcome suggestions. Thanks! Bravesport

Lower Eyelid Discoloration After Hyaluronic Acid Filler Used For Tear Trough
The tear trough is a tricky area to inject, so seeking experienced physicians is very important. The quality of your photo is not ideal, but still helpful; it shows both discoloration and swelling. Examining this area would allow a more definitive answer.
This could be the Tyndall effect - light scattering by particles in a colloid, suspension, or emulsion. In the case of hyaluronic acid gel fillers, the light penetrates the skin and is scattered by the gel, producing a bluish-gray...

Restylane around eyes can lead to bruising, but much less chance if blunt cannulas are used
As a long time Realself.com physician, I must say that the eye area gives the most questions regarding fillers. Unfortunately, several people have had lumpiness, blueness, swelling, and bruising in this area. You, the patient, must go to the most qualified physicians to get good results with filler around the eye. You must have Restylane and not Juverderm, Sculptra, or Radiesse. I have been using blunt cannula's for about 1.5 years in this area and the bruising...

Dark Circles After Restylane
It looks like you have some swelling and possibly a Tyndall effect (seeing blue color through skin). Do you have allergies? If so allergy eye drops like Zaditor may help. Most likely you will need to either wait for the filler to dissolve or have it dissolved with an injection of Hyaluronidase. It is not unusual for lower eyelid fillers to last over a year.
Hope that is helpful.

Restylane and tyndall effect
You should return to your provider and ask about having some of the product removed. Occasionally when the product is placed too superficial or over-filled you can experience the effect and it's not uncommon to have it manipulated and/or removed at any point.

Please don't wait any longer, get this fixed.
It is reasonable to wait for the bruise after treatment to resolve. These can last up to a few weeks so they are kind of depressing and memorable. However, once the bruise is gone, any extra fullness that fails to resolve should be adjusted immediately with the enzyme hyaluronidase. Forget Tyndall, this is simple overfill. Look for an experienced injector who knows how to inject with the enzyme. The enzyme works within seconds of being injected...
