Under Eye Restylane Massive Swelling? (photo)

Under eye Restylane is pretty good as a magic wand but it is not quite there.  Swelling and bruising are common and unavoidable.  It is likely that the swelling will be with you for a while because it also looks like you bruised.  The treatment without the bruise can be associated with several days of swelling.  When you bruise, did I mention that there is really nothing that can be done to avoid a bruise in a particular person, it brings its own swelling.  Hang in there, you will get better.

Restylane in tear troughs tends to swell, some more than others. If this was done with a needle, theree is also more trauma and bruising. I always use cannulas here to minimize bruising, swelling, and to lower risks of a vascular compromise. Sleeping on 2-3 pillows is needed for 2 nights after this filler. It should subside in 3-5 days. Rarely, a steroid shot/prescription can be added to accelerate resolution of the swelling. I don't see this as being out of the ordinary. It is something that all filler patients need to be aware of in this area of correction.
