i'm 28 and i had one syringe of restylane injected under my eyes ( a half in each side ) and radisse injected to my cheeks in order to treat the hollowness. the results were amazing for the first 2 days but as the days past i noticed a bluish color under my eyes which wasn't really bad but looked like dark circles. i went back for a correction and again at first it looked really good than the bluish color appeared and after a month i didn't even noticed the volume... is that possible?

Answer: Very simple-were photographs obtained prior to treatment?
Please wait two weeks before re-treatment. You may have some swelling that will last a few days and you will then be happy with your result. Restylane can be dissolved but you may need a bit more Restylane to even out your lips.
As other panel members suggested, the bluish hue is, indeed, a Tyndall effect which is a result of the product being placed too superficially. Although Restylane is not blue in color (it's a clear gel), the way in which light is absorbed and reflected will cause this appearance...
The areas that you have pointed out (inner eyes under brow ridge) are a risky area for cosmetic dermal fillers due to where nerve and blood vessels branch out near this area. Also, it is not clear what your goal would be in treating this area as surgical intervention may be a better option...
