Tyndall effect and swelling under eyes after Restylane

Thank you for sharing your question and photo. The darkness is most likely a bruise. The Tyndall effect is highly unlikely when Restylane is injected in the tear troughs. It is more common with Juvederm and Belotero. Monitor the area for a few more weeks and see your doctor if the problem does not resolve. Good luck,

Typically, restylane causes less of a tyndall effect versus the other hyaluronic acid fillers when injected under the eyes. Massaging the area and warm compresses can help to smooth out the product and improve the appearance of the restylane. Alternatively, you can ask your surgeon to dissolve out some of the excess product with small amounts of hyaluronidase although you may lose some of the cosmetic improvement.
