It has been 13 days since the allergic reaction and 5 days since I completed taking the meds. The blister look has improved a lot, but I still have some swellin in one eye and some discoloration. I can hide most of it with concealer. I probably could use another injection of hyaluronidase to dissolve all of the restylane, but I'm not going to since I had a reaction. I can't wait for it all to return to normal.
Yes, the steroids helped. I finished taking the steroids 5 days ago. The swelling in under one eye is completely gone, but under the eye that had the most hyaluronidase injected still has some swelling. Until this morning it was getting a little (very little) better each day, but this morning the one eye is swollen a bit more than yesterday. I just keep hoping it all goes away and returns to normal.
Eyebagshell, I don't know if I told you this, but the reason I got the filler was because my daughter was getting married and I wanted to look my best and that was 3 weeks before her wedding! The doctor told me that I would look fabulous withing a couple of days! Needless to say, I didn't look my best, but thankfully I had a makeup artist that was skilled and she was able to hide a lot of it.
Eyebaghell, the hyaluronidase will probably work fine for you. Most people don't have reactions and I'm back to looking almost like I did before the hyaluronidase. If I wasn't allergic to it, I would have to have more injected as it appears that some is still left and I still look lumpy. It's been 10 days since I had the hyaluronidase injected, so your timing should work. Please let me know how it turns out for you. I go back in for a follow-up tomorrow, but doubt that I'll be doing anything except keeping my sunglassses on for the next 4 months. It's been a hard and stressful lesson.
To eyebaghell - I would recommend checking into having an expericed doc remove the restylane by making a very fine incesion (nothing that leaves a mark)to take out the restylane. I wished I would have done that instead of the hyaluronidase. You have 5 weeks before the wedding, so if you check into it right away, you might save yourself a lot of stress. I will never do fillers again.
