I had restylane injections under my eyes today and saw minimal bruising/swelling until around 6 hours later when I started to see a gradual increase in swelling. Now I have significant swelling and some tenderness, as shown in the photos. Is this normal?

Answer: Restylane swelling Restylane silk is a great new product indicated for the perioral rhytides and lip area only but swelling in this area should be expected because restylane is so hydrophilic. It is post op edema and will resolve over few days typically. Not indicated for the nasolablial folds. Would recommend you discuss your case with your board certified dermatologist.Restylane silk is not indicated for any area other than the lip and perioral rhytides.

Answer: Par for the course Restylane is very hydrophilic. For the first several days, dramatic swelling is not uncommon. Some providers recommend icing, but ultimately it's a normal reaction that should resolve within a short period of time.
