I had restalyne injected under my eyes and in my cheeks yesterday. I accidentally moved in the middle of the night and woke up with my face in the pillow and I am very swollen. My lower eyelid is swollen to the point I cant see well. Will this have caused the filler to move or change the results in any way?

Answer: Sleeping after filler treatment There is always some swelling after filler treatments. Sometimes, the patient's position while sleeping can affect how this swelling is distributed. For example, for patients who sleep on one side on the night after treatment, the swelling can move more to that side. For these reasons, patients are sometimes nervous when they notice asymmetric swelling on the day after treatment. The reality is that no one really knows if or how much filler is displaced with a given amount of pressure applied to the treated area; the good news for you is that it would likely take a lot of pressure to move a filler that has been deeply placed. It is highly unlikely that you affected your result in this way. Hope this helps.

Answer: Will sleep position effect Restalyne placement? Thanks for your question and we always recommend that you consult with and have these injections performed with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Moving in one’s sleep is normal and should have no impact on the outcome of the filler. If there is a little swelling, as is normal after the injection, use ice to the area. If it persists for more than several days, return to your provider to make sure everything is okay.
