How do I reduce the appearance of malar edema from Restylane? (photo)

May 24, 2018
Asked By:Lachwartz in Dallas, TX

I had restylane done under my eyes 2 weeks ago and have unfortunately developed Malar Edema. I will be having the filler reversed but not before my sisters wedding which is this weekend; I just can’t risk any bruising or additional swelling. I’ve been taking Zyrtec and added Benadryl last night. What can I do to reduce/minimize the awful appearance? Prednisone? Diuretic? Heat? Ice? Massage? Vibration? I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Can the tyndall effect from HA fillers be gray/purple in colour?
Jonathan Kulbersh, MD says:

Yes, this may be the Tyndall effect, but you'll need a consultation to determine if filler is present and creating these results. If it is filler, it can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Hope this helps.
