Had 3 syringes and the nurse made sure it was painless with topical cream and locals. I was told the bruising would be nothing and that most people go back to work the same day. That wasn't true for me, I had huge bruises from her "massaging" (extreme force caused the trauma) the filler into place.
The bruising and swelling went away in about 6 days and so did any results...I look exactly the same, it dissolved completely. I spent a lot of money and was told in places like the tear troughs it could last as long as 9 months and now it's gone in less than a week!

Thanks and enjoy your week!
