I had my cheeks filled in with Restylane to fix hollowness. At one point, the doctor said he would use an un-crosslinked hyaluronic acid to smooth out the filler. When he used this, it seems like it burned my skin, and now I have blue-ish bruising color showing through my cheeks. I'm sure it's the Tyndall Effect because I can only see it very well in certain lights. What can be done about it?

Answer: You can have it removed, but that is sad given that you paid for it! Hyaluronic acid fillers can cause bluish discolorations of the face if they are placed too superficially in the skin. That's why it is SOOO important that you go to a good doctor for it, preferably a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who does their own injections. In my office, I am the only one who does the injections and it is my personal feeling that no one other than the physician should do it in any office.

Answer: Restylane Bruising, swelling, sometimes discoloration, lumps, and bumps are normal side effects assuming proper injection. They will be gone in a matter of days. Having them dissolved using hyaluronidase is also an option. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
