Seemed Like Mistake at First, but 10 Days Post = yay - Los Angeles, CA

Restylane Restored the Face I Hadn’t Seen for Years - Pasadena, CA

Don't worry! It will go down in a couple days. The swelling was worse the second day than the first. One cheek jutted out very far (I took pictures but they didn't come out well.) Then, 48 hours later it started going down. You should ice for 5 minutes every 2 hours during waking time. There was a noticeable different after icing. Give it a week and then you'll see what it's really going to look like. Chances are you'll be just fine!

Hi Jellyfish - Oh, I sympathize! It can be really scary, I know. But don't worry, getting burned is pretty common and it is very likely to come out okay. #1 - DO NOT SCRATCH OR PICK AT IT. That will cause scarring. #2 - You need to take care of this like it's a burn, because that's what it is. Wear a moisturizing dressing. Get some Aquaphor or a similar brand that is for treating burns - it should be the consistency of Vaseline. Do not put other active ingredients on there. #3 - Stay out of the sun. Sun and scratching are pretty much the only things that would cause permanent damage, so as long as you keep it moisturized, dark, and don't touch it, chances are you will be totally fine. :-) Good luck!
