Lumps and discoloration after Restylane

As the other physicians mentioned, you can try to massage the bumps down for a few weeks, but if they don't resolve, you should go to a physician for enzymatic dissolution of the bumps with hyaluronidase. As for discoloration, this could be bruising, but if it lasts for more than a few weeks, it may be a Tyndall effect- seeing the colorless gel as a bluish color with very close to the skin surface. Other than dissolving the Restylane, there is not much to do about the Tyndall... more

HA filler injections to tear troughs - massage can help with lumps

I would suggest massaging the region firmly for 2 minutes 4 times per day - this often helps reduce the 'lumpy' appearance to the filler and may reduce the swelling that always accompanies the HA fillers (Restylane, Juvederm)

This is not Tyndal, these are just lumps.

If you are not physically close to your injector, you will need to find a doctor close to where you live to use enzyme to modify this treatment. Don't just live with this because that filler can last a very long time indeed. The adjustment with hyaluronidase is very straight forward.

Massage areas, or allow more healing time. Hyaluronidase injections are a last resort and are quite expensive.

Restylane for lower eyelid area and tear trough

If the Restylane was injected underneath the skin and not underneath the muscle, it can show as lumps and bluish. Hyaluronidase can correct this problem easily. See your physician.

10 days after Restylane treatment

Greetings Laila~ Unfortunately, it appears from your pictures that you have Restylane placed too superficially in some areas and not enough placed in other areas. When this is the case no amount of massaging will get the product where it needs to be for the best results. Ideally we like to see our patients back after two weeks to evaluate if more product is needed in certain areas or to answer any questions...a very difficult task if someone is out of the country. I... more

Lumps After Restylane Under Eyes

Typically, when we see this, it's usually related to the Restylane being placed too superficially above the eye muscle and directly under the skin. After ten days post-treatment, massaging generally won't offer much improvement because the product is incorrectly placed. Also, vigorous massaging may actually cause delayed swelling in a very unforiving area. It may be to your benefit to consider dissolving this one area with hyaluronidase (Vitrase) as this lump... more

Are you sure it's restylane?

10 days is still early, I don't see a Tyndall effect but there is certainly irregularity which may require hyaluronidase, that is if its a NASHA product. massage for 2 weeks and see an MD to dissolve the excess.

Lumps in tear troughs 10 days after Restylane injections

Tyndall effect is the bluish discoloration of the skin when a hyaluronic acid filler is placed too close to the skin surface. I am not seeing that in your photos. What you may have is some residual swelling/edema after the injections. Sometimes it takes longer to resolve in the tear trough area. Alternatively, there may just be too much product in that area. I recommend applying ice to the area for 5 minutes every two hours, being careful not to cause ice burns to... more

Vitrase will correct lumpy Restylane in tear troughs.

Hi. Gentle compression and massage for five minutes three times a day for two weeks. If the lumps are till there then, a tiny injection of Hyaluronidase (Vitrase) will dissolve them. With no treatment, lumps can last a year. Too much filler was injected too superficially. Feel bad for you.

Lumps and discoloration after Restylane to tear troughs

Restylane and all fillers are needle based treatments which means the needles penetrate the tissues and some degree of bruising and swelling is to be expected. When fillers are used in the thin, delicate, vein-filled, skin of the lower eyelids (tear trough region) the likelyhood of bruising and swelling goes up exponentially. The lumpiness could be from swelling or from not masaaging the Restylane along the targeted tissue area which allows it to stay in a concentrated... more
