Eye Almost Swollen Shut After Restylane, What Can I Do?
Just had restylane injected in my tear troughs yesterday & although I bruised right away, I didn't get swollen too much. I started to notice more swelling about 8 hrs after. By last night I was in tears because I looked like a chipmunk. 23 hours later, I am so disgusted with the swelling in my face that I think it might be too swollen. My cheeks are swollen & one eye is almost swollen shut. I've been icing all day since yesterday. I got 1 syringein each eye.
