Restylane is easily reversible and how to get better results

One key advantage of hyaluronic acid is easy reversibility. The use of Hyaluronidase can dissolve the product within one week. Best ways to avoid bruising or bluish color is prevention and excellent techniques.

Darkening of Tear Trough / Lower Lids with Restylane

I agree with the previous post. The darkening you seem to describe is usually seen when Restylane is placed too superficially. When it is not placed close to the bone but under the thin skin of the lower lid the light that reflects back disclose a bluish tone (TYNDALL Effect). This would also go along with the lumpiness. This may need to be removed with an enzyme that breaks up the filler and, should you want it, be totally re-done when the inflammation subsides.

Restylane lower eyelids

If you are still blue in 2 more weeks then it probably is not a bruise. If the Restylane was injected superficially it might look blue.if that's the case it can be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase. See your doctor for a followup exam.
