How long is the recovery from tear trough fillers with Restylane? If you tend to bruise a lot?

Thank you for the question. While bruising after fillers is not uncommon, particularly around the delicate area of the eyes, the extent of bruising and the duration can be difficult to predict. If you are concerned, I recommend talking to your doctor before your treatment. Simple steps like avoiding anti-inflammatory medications and taking Arnica supplements can often reduce the amount of bruising you experience. I wish you all the best as you pursue your aesthetic goals!

Bruising after fillers can persist up to two weeks.  There are actions you can take to help minimize bruising.  Avoid NSAIDS, Vitamin E supplements, aspirin and other medications that can thin the blood for a week prior to treatment.  Some patients find using Arnica post injection is helpful in controlling bruising.  Intermittent cold packs may also help.

Most patients are back to normal by two weeks. Rarely, a severe bruise can cause hemosiderin staining in the skin, which can take several months to resolve quickly. This is very uncommon and covers easily with makeup.
