Restylane: Stories

I was very very skeptical after reading the negative reviews of injections under the eyes. I waited quite a while before making the jump. I have had deep tear troughs for several years and they were driving me crazy, since I felt I was too young (28) to look so tired all the time.
I researched under the eye issues and found restylane to be the best option. I consulted with my dermatologist and made an appointment. I was still really scared because my under eye skin is very thin...however my injector didn't seem worried at all. She had done many injections before. She instructed me to start taking arnica 5 days before the procedure and several days after to reduce swelling and bruising. I went through with it and I must say I a, very pleased.
My procedure was yesterday, and I've had very minimal swelling, and almost no bruising! It looks great, much better than before. It wasn't very painful, and didn't take long.
I was very cautious about my aftercare, I iced for 6 hours After, and some today. I have taken it very easy and haven't exerted myself just to be on the safe side.
I honestly feel like I had the best possible outcome and I think it is because of the arnica, icing, knowing what questions to ask (thanks to this website) and having an injector who didn't put it in too superficially.

I will update as I get further along.

One thing that has been troublesome, I had a major major headache this evening, but I cannot 100% attribute it to the injections. I'm not really sure.
