What to do with Restylane puffiness and streaks?

I had Restylane done 5 months ago and I have a brown-blue mark under my eyes. I also have puffiness, and brown streaks the size of tic-tacs under each eye that make-up doesn't hide. Is this normal? Will Hyaluronidase help? Will my face look normal again? I look disfigured and like someone pulled my bottom eyelids down.

It is likely superficial deposition of some old blood and mostly Restylane itself. Hyaluronidase will help. Along with that regular massage and skin care will help. Regards

Hyaluronidase may help with the swelling but maybe not the brown streaks (likely hemosiderin or break-down products of red blood cells that can occur after bruising).  I would consult with a dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon in person to make that determination. Good luck.
