Hi -- I just wanted to share my own experience. I had restylane injected into the tear troughs under both of my eyes a few times and it went great. Then one last time I went to have a bit more put into one of my eyes and at first it seemed fine, but by 48-72 hrs. later, I had a bad black eye (well, really the color was purplish/bluish) bruise where the Dr. had injected. Makeup barely covered it up, even when spackled on. I read online that this can happen if a vessel is hit. Anyhow, after a week the bruise hadn't gone away at all, so I went back to the Dr. today, exactly 1 week later, and he zapped it with a Pulsed Dye laser. I am amazed but only 10 hrs. later it's literally almost gone already. SO for those of you out there who have gotten a black eye from restylane, just know that it's possible (at least in the hands of an expert physician, NOT ANYTHING LESS!) to have the bruise treated with a laser. I will post again tomorrow to tell about the progress, in case there's anyone else out there who freaked out like I did!
