I had Restylane injected into my tear troughs for the first time 3 weeks ago to improve the hollowness. I went to a Dermatologist who is board certified and an expert injector with a lot of great reviews. The Dr. used 1 syringe to fill both eyes with a cannula. It was not painful. I had some swelling that was gone by the 5th day, and very slight bruising. What concerns me is the darkness under my eyes that was not there before the injections, makeup does not cover it. Is it permanent? Can it be lightened?
