Recurrent swelling 4 months after Restylane to rear troughs? (Photos)

February 26, 2013
Asked By:SadieBee in Long Island, NY

2 months after Restylane, I started experiencing recurring swelling under eyes. Each episode leaves area lumpy & bruised. I've read horror stories about hyaluronidase making matters worse. I'd like to wait it out, but I’ve read fillers under eyes can last for years. Doc wants to dissolve, but I'm wary. I’ve read accounts of the swelling recurring even after hylase. Would love to hear from doctors who've seen this phenomenon & successfully treated it.
