Minimizing bruising with Restylane and Botox
The combination of Restylane and Botox is safe and should not cause major bruising. If you are overly concerned, consider taking Bruise-Pak tablets before your injections.

Restylane or Juvederm after Botox or Dysport for eyelids
The more injections you do, the greater the risk of swelling and bruising. Take fresh pineapples, oral arnica and avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen or Vitamin prior to procedure. You may be better off doing botulinum toxin such as Botox or Dysport prior to filler injections for rejuvenation around the eyes as better adjustment (and possibly slightly less filler) can be done by your board-certified aesthetic physician injector.

Restylane and dysport at same time should not increase bruising
Getting dysport and Restylane injected at the same time should not increase bruising or swelling. In fact, these two procedures are very often performed together. Restylane is used to fill in lines, folds,and wrinkles and contains hyaluronic acid which pulls in water.
Between this and the trauma from the injection itself, bruising and swelling occurs quite commonly, but is temporary. With Dysport, the injections are more superficial in some cases and shorter so the risk of these side...

Restylane + Dysport
Using the combination of Restylane and Dysport will not automatically increase the risk of bruising, however by virtue of the need for more needle pokes for product placement, that will increase your risk. I am more concerned with the idea that using Dysport under your eyes will decrease the hollow appearance.
Dysport will only decrease the muscle activity, it will not add fullness. Restylane will add fullness all on its own so in all likelihood you will not need the neurotoxin,...

Restylane and Dysport are a safe combination
Any injections of fillers (Juvederm , Restylane, etc) or botulinum toxin (Botox and Dysport) have a risk of bruising but this is not particularly increased by combining the treatments. The lower eyelids do have a higher risk of bruising, so don't be upset if you get a small discolored area. Filler works well to disguise the hollows of the lower eyelids, but Dysport is less commonly used for the lower eyelids.
However, a small amount of Dysport can be safely used to diminish wrinkles of the...

Bruising with Restylane and Dysport together
The risk of bruising is related to your clotting state (ie, whether you take aspirin a day or not), how thin is your skin, wherer the injections are placed (around eye area has high risk). Having 2 products injected on the same day contributes a very small part to the overall risk of bruising.

Botox and fillers
There is no contraindication to using Dysport and filler at the same time. The possibility of bruising is always there, mild swelling will disappear in an hour or so.
Chose an experienced injector.

Restylane + Dysport should not affect bruising
Dysport, like Botox, is used to relax hyperactive muscles of expression that cause wrinkles. Although they are sometimes used right under the eyelashes if there is a muscle bulge there, Restylane (like Juvederm and other fillers) would be placed a little bit lower in a hollow area along the edge of the eye socket. (This is often called the "tear trough"). So the two products aren't actually injected into the same area. Good technique will avoid bruising most of the time....

Resylane and Dysport for Lower Lid Hollows
Good question - 2 comments.
1. Your likelihood to bruise with any injectible or COMBINATION of injectibles would depend on - how "thin" (anticoagulated) your blood is (due Aspirin,Advil, Alleve, Garlic, Vit E or congenital factors)- the technique used by and the skill of your injector (hopefully a doctor)- the number of sticks used
Although I do not think there is a high likelihood of bruising in people who are not prone to bruising, I would NOT do such a procedure before an...

Dysport and restylane
Dysport is like Botox a muscle paralyzer. I would not recommend injecting underneath your eye. It will not improve the hollowing. The restylane will do that for you.

The extent of lower eyelid bruising is variable after an Injectable Filler treatment.
Your lower eyelid skin is very thin, and if a small vein is encountered during a treatment with Restylane, you could get a shiner. When I fill lower eyelid hollows, I advise patients that significant bruising may occur in approximately 10% of treatments. Dysport to your crow's feet is less likely to result in a significant bruise.
I hope you find this helpful.

Dysport and Restylane
Dysport might be injected, as an off-label use, in the lower eyelid, but there are reasons not to do so in some people, especially if there is swelling, or bags of fluid there. But if you were to get both Dysport and Restylane injected into the lower eyelid, the Dysport is place in different locations than the REstylane, and the Restylane often is placed under the muscle and the Dysport above the muscle, so the only reason you might increase the chance of bruising is that there would be...

Restylane and Dysport combination is safe
While both procedures, Restylane and Dysport, can potentially cause bruising and swelling, having both together does not particularly increase your risk above what each may cause individually.
Dysport may cause minimal bruising if a small vessel is encountered during injections, but typically does not cause as much as a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler such as Restylane (or Juvederm).
Restylane can be used with good results under the eyes, but be sure that you have an experienced injector, as...

Injecting hollows under the eyes almost always bruises some
Injecting Restylane under the eyes for hollows almost always causes bruising and should be done in small amounts for 2-4 sessions a few days to a week apart. Injecting Dysport at the same time is fine.

Dysport and Restylane
Anytime you receive injections around the eyes you have a risk for bruising. The more injections you receive and the more volume injected increases the risk for bruising. Typically Dysport would not be used to treat eye hollows so you should clarify that.

Bruising after Restylane and Dysport
Both Restylane and Dysport have minimal chance of causing bruising. The Restylane may cause a little temporary swelling. Having both procedures together does not increase the risk of bruising. As with any procedure, you should expect a recovery time. In the case of Restylane and Dysport, the recovery is very minimal. Good luck with your procedure.

More poking = more swelling
These are great treatments. I personally do not feel that botulinum toxin should be used in the lower eyelid if filler is a better choice. Weakening muscles with these agents weaken the sling function of the lower eyelid and causes a slump in the lower eyelid position (think lower eyelid bag). Not pretty. Filler is much better for this area. Please consider this a very strong caution.
Now if you want to do Dysport in the forehead or glabellar area at the same time as the having the...

Bruising with Restylane and Dysport Under the Eye Lids
Hi Alynn,
Having Dysport in addition to Restylane should not increase your chances of bruising. Restylane is used to fill lower eye lid hollows, Dysport is not commonly used in the lower lid area. Usually there is not much bruising involved with Dysport injections as they are superficial. Injections to fill the lower eyelid hollows have a higher incidence of bruising as it involves deep injections. The more times a needle enters the skin, the greater chance for bruising.
Good luck and...
