Will This Bruising/swelling Go Down? Three Weeks in and Still Look Like a Freak - United Kingdom

I had Restylane done last September for my tear troughs because I was sick of people asking if I was tired when I felt great. I was really happy with the result but when it started to break down I went for a top up. I somehow let myself get talked into Juvederm instead but the results so far have been pretty horrific. The brusing and swelling are about ten times worse than with Restylane and I'm three weeks in and have huge puffy blue bags under my eyes. I can't cover it. The sides are odd and lumpy. Someone please tell me this will go down?!? I've been dodging my family for weeks in case they think I've been punched in the face. Starting to get worried now and really need some reassurance!

Great review?

The nurse was great, we talked about the procedure and products before and she answered all my questions. The procedure was quick and painless. I'm struggling to get hold of her for reassurance now and I just need to know if it's normal to still have this swelling and discolouration three weeks in.

I'm so sorry to hear what is going on for you. Did you have the same injector this time as last??
