Posted under Restylane q&a

Bruise or Tyndall Effect?

tobygn99
Recently had Restylane under both eyes. Under left eye a small bleed spot. That afternoon the bruise looked green. Six days later it has more bluish tint. Which is this? Also, ice pack was used right after injection and throughout day. I am now using Vit K cream. What do you think? I always thought a greenish bruise was a sign of healing. This small spot is very hard to cover up with makeup. I have tried different concealers.
