The best way to deal with bumps from Restylane is to show them to your dermatologist and most of the time, "time" itself will resolve all bumps. On occasion , the "bumps" can be surgically removed but I dont recommend that. Restylane is not permanent so I have never seen any permanent bumps... more

Hi there I've had restylane twice under the eyes to correct the hollows. The first time the dr. put the restylane all the way from the corners to the outside of my eyes, in line with the full circle. Unfortunately this had the opposite effect of being "puffy" so I had some of it disolved. After about a year I was becoming depressed about the hollows again so i visited Dr. Chawdary at Derby Laser & cosmetic clinic. He only put the restylane in the dark areas, from the corner (nearest the nose) to half way across. One of the eyes did indeed turn out lumpy so i went back. He put the disolving sol in the lumpy bit and put restylane in another part. Well I must say i am amazed at the result now. I can look in the shop mirrors and see someone who looks more awake. I still have a bruise under the problem eye but cover with revlon colorstay (a great concealer for only £7). I hope this helps you. I would not lose heart and would definitely recommend {edited}. He is a specialist eye dr. and I am going back to him for botox under the eye rim to get rid of the wrinkles there, which unfortunately haven't been shifted. Good luckx -- Editor note: If you would like to review your experience with a particular provider or clinic, please write your treatment review and enter the provider or clinic name in the field provided.

I had restylne inserted in the hollows under the eyes over two months ago. Now in December, still have swelling and noticable brusing. Used highly experienced board certified Dr. He recently prescribed steriods for swelling. Helped some. Concealers only minimize injury. It is senseless to spend a considerable sum of $ only to be brusied for as long as this stuff is suppose to last!! I am very disappointed.

If you are feeling pressed at this point in terms of your upcoming event, I would encourage you to talk with the physician who injected you and discuss hyaluronidase, as that will be your quickest potential fix for the problem. Many lumps will disappear with time and gentle massage. So if you have a little time before your departure, why not push off any "removal" strategy until the last moment to see if you might end up with a satisfactory correction. I am sorry that you have had such an experience at such an important time. Mineral makeup like True or Jane Iredale might be very helpful in the interim.

Restylane will not last more than 2-3 months, It is not the best choice for under the eyes because of the bruising and short correction time.Request local anesthesia with Lidocaine to constrict the vessels and therefore avoid or minimize bruising.I have great results with Radiesse in that area.

I am not a nurse but had great results with restylane in this area..You should get a local and my doctor uses a simple ice cube before each injection for few seconds.... Makes a big difference if you bruise...Bruises can last a long time around the eye... My results however lasted 4 years with two 1 c.c touch ups and some left over for my lip border...There is not a lot of movement in this area so it last longer.... Your doc should hit bone and be injected deep in the hollow but not so deep it goes behind the bone....This requires a very skilled injector... I went to a plastic surgeon who specializes in eyes...Ask around town or spend some time on the phone. Expect a touch up after the first go for the best and even results and you can hold off getting your eyes done for years.... Tell the doc you bruise easy so he is extra carful... I don't think I would do Radiese..What if you don't like it... Also for those of you who have bumps,,Try a vibrator or I think juvederm can seep between and fill in areas to make them smooth and less noticable if the area is not already filled to much...
