Tyndall effect and swelling under eyes after Restylane

May 22, 2016
Asked By:jsn0720 in Cleveland, OH

I had half a syringe injected under each eye on May 5. Had immediate mild swelling and bruising. Now I'm left with what I know know is the Tyndall effect and some lumpiness under my left eye. I went back to my plastic surgeon May 16 to address these concerns, and he said it could take 4-6 weeks for swelling to go down, and that the darkness would also lessen during this time. He also said because I have freckles, the restylane tends to show more. I'm extremely disappointed to say the least.
