Botox: Q&A
Ask a QuestionRestylane Injection Hit Blood Vessel in Eye Lid. I Wonder if I Should Look for Another PS?
An experienced PS injected Restylane in my lower lids, and hit a blood vessel. I COMPLETELY understand that this happens to the best of them, but I have a truly black eye that mocks makeup coverage going strong still 10 days later. PS let me know he hit a vein, iced it and applied pressure for MAYBE a minute before continuing injecting. He did not ice at all before or after- but sent me home with an icepack. (No blood-thinning supplements factor in, and thorough home-care by me afterwards.)
Preparation for the expected black eye is essential.
