In the past few months, I have had Restylane Silk injected in my year troughs (redone a few times because the doctor thought I could use more each time). And just 2 weeks ago, I had Botox. I started noticing these veins shortly after the filler a couple of months back but they are become more and more prominent. Could the treatments be related to these veins? Any idea what could be causing them, and please advise of the best and safest treatment. Thank you!
