Resylane in eye

Please, do not get Restylane injected anywhere inside of your orbital rim. If you think your eyes protrude, you need to have some measuements taken of your eyes to see if you have what is called proptosis. Your opthalmologist can do this. If it turns out that it is just the "bags" under your eyes that is bothering you, you might need a fat transposition lower lid blepharoplasty.
