Please help! I had restylane injected under my eyes 5 days ago by an experienced cosmetic MD. The hollows I had before now look like ugly bags, and I am so depressed and remorseful that I did anything. Will the lumpiness and swelling subside in another week? Will a little hyaluronidase help or can the restylane be extracted? Should I massage it in or let my face rest for another week?
Answer: This is not something that you should have to deal with yourself.
This is a very irregular filler treatment. You do not seem to have an associated bruise. The bruising brings it own swelling and it is advisable to wait for the bruise to resolve before attempting to adjust the filler service. You appear to have a significant over fill on the right side, a bump in the left lower eyelid and incomplete fill in the left tear trough. I think you will most definitely need hyaluronidase enzyme to resolve these issues. If your injector is not up to this task, please find an experienced injector who can help you.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Resty It is still a bit early to be critical. There is always a bit of swelling. Some restylane products have more swelling than others. If there were bruises then the healing time can take a bit more. I would see your injector ASAP to make sure there is nothing more serious going on.The good news is it will most definitely improve and if not, they can always absorb it.Hope this helps,Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Swelling and lumpiness after injection I’m sorry to hear about the swelling and lumpiness you’re experiencing. These may be a normal part of your recovery which gradually subsides in a week or two. You might want to wait out, and if by the two week mark no improvement is seen, return to your injector for an assessment. As you’ve mentioned, you may need hyaluronidase to smooth out the lumps. I wouldn’t recommend that you massage the area, as it can cause displacement (leading possibly to more lumpiness). The injector should be the one to massage the area if needed.

Answer: Swelling and lumpiness after Restylane Swelling is normal and can be asymmetric. You can expect swelling to last for one to two weeks, depending on the area treated and how your body reacts to the treatment. Keep your head elevated to help ease swelling, particularly when sleeping. You can use a few pillows to prop your head up.If it doesn't improve after a week or so, please see your injector for an assessment. Do not massage the area in the meantime.

Answer: Tear Trough Injections
It is difficult to gauge with your photo if I am seeing misplaced product or swelling. I encourage you to follow up with your injector to determine the course of action. The product can be dissolved if necessary using Vitrase. It is important that you don't manipulate the area too much, as that can increase your swelling as well.

Answer: Restylane swelling Hi Puffy-Relax! My wife looked exactly the same way after being injected. Remember that the skin under the eyelids is thin and bruising in this area takes a while to go down. Hopefully, you will be pleased with the result in the end.
