I'm looking to do either Juvederm or Restylane injections for my under-eye bags to smooth out the hollows and puffiness.How long should I "hibernate" due to swelling and bruising? Is it a couple days or a week that you look beat up? Also, does Botox work for crow's feet or is it too risky of freezing your smile lines?
Answer: Bruisestick ointment contains arnica and bromelain If you are concerned about bruising after injections, our office prescribes Bruisestick ointment, used twice daily to the area. Bruisestick contains both Arnica and Bromelain.

Answer: You shouldn't have much swelling or bruising if it is done correctly and you aren't on aspirin, etc If you go to someone who is good at this, you probably won't have much swelling or bruising, but anything can happen, even with good surgeons. In our office, the instance of bruising is probably about 10% and it can easily be covered. If it does happen, you will have it for about 2 weeks, so it's important to be able to cover it up appropriately. We have a product line, Colorescience, that does a fantastic job of covering it up (www.LovelySkin.com/colorescience). As for the botox, yes, it works great for the crows feet, so you should love it! Restylane is my preferred treatment for under the eyes, but Juvederm is fine as well. As for anesthesia, you should have some topical anesthesia before the treatment. If your surgeon is doing it right, you shouldn't need any more than that as most do blocks or add anesthetic to the product they are injecting (as we do). Good luck!

Answer: Facial Filler Recovery Time Hi Miss, I recommend using only Restylane to treat lower eye lid hollows. Botox is great for treating your crow's feet. You should stop taking any medications, vitamins, or supplements for about 7 to 10 days prior to your injection treatments to minimize bruising. I suggest that patients give themselves two weeks before a big event to make sure that they are flawless in the event that they have bruising after their injections. Most patients do not have much bruising at all and are able to avoid "hybernation". Commonly patients are fine within a day or two. In the event of bruising, depending on the extent, the discoloration may last up to two weeks. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Answer: Botox for Crow's feet, Restylane for the tear troughs Borox is wonderful to soften the crow's feet, and if done properly, will leave you a very natural result. I prefer Restylane for the tear troughs, and this area tends to have a higher risk of bruising or swelling compared to other areas of the face, so I recommend a few days off just to be safe (there are some folks who have little or no bruising, but we always want to plan ahead in case you need a bit more time). Good luck! Dr. Salemy

Answer: Botox is great for crow's feet First of all, Botox is great for crow's feet around the eyes. It opens up the lateral eye area and smooths out the wrinkles. Dermal filler injections around the eyes are tricky and should only be done by an experienced injector. Whether you have Juvederm or Restylane does not really matter.
